Calories: 222kcal
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pine nuts
- 1 ½ pounds zucchini
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh basil
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 Tablespoon minced fresh mint
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Creamy Feta Dressing
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- ¼ milk milk
- 1½ Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Add the pine nuts to a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Trim the ends of the zucchini and discard. Cut in quarters. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini with the olive oil, herbs and pepper.
- To assemble, spread the feta dressing on the plate. Top with the zucchini and sprinkle the pine nuts on top.
Creamy Feta Dressing
- Blend all the ingredients until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, thin with additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Notes
Store the salad and dressing in separate airtight containers in the fridge. The salt in the feta will break down the zucchini, causing it to be mushy. The zucchini should stay fresh for up to 2 days and the dressing for 3-4 days.
