More Zucchini

Another good zucchini recipe from "Vegetarian Times."  I have been using a combination of yellow squash & zucchini.  A mandoline makes slicing the squash & onion a lot easier.  OXO makes a good one.

Greek Zucchini Salad with Crumbled Feta

3 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 tsp.)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 medium zucchini, peeled into thin ribbons (about 4 cups)
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 green onions, chopped
1 T. chopped fresh mint
1 T. chopped fresh parsley

Whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic in a large serving bowl.  Gradually whisk in oil.  Season with salt & pepper.  Add zucchini and onion, and toss to coat.  Cover and marinate a few hours or overnight (and up to 2 days).  Sprinkle with feta, green onions, mint & parsley just before serving.
