This zucchini, mint, and feta cheese (I used vegan cheese) salad makes an ideal aspect dish or attention-grabbing appetizer! I am calling it Cape Cod zucchini salad as a result of that’s the place I first was launched to it.

Noreen made an unimaginable uncooked zucchini and feta cheese salad. She discovered the recipe within the New York Occasions Recipe part and could not look ahead to us to style it. 

Style it? We devoured it!

I am making my recipe with “vegan feta” that I discovered at Dealer Joes and adapting the recipe to swimsuit our tastes. Yow will discover the unique NY Occasions recipe right here. 

No have to prepare dinner or fry the zucchini!! This tasty salad was made with uncooked zucchini and had simply the fitting contact of mint, another seasonings, and feta cheese. As soon as the combination marinates, the zucchini softens ups and tastes excellent!

I used a “chopper” that I purchased on Amazon to cut the zucchini to only the fitting dimension. This chopper works for chopping tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, pink onion, onions, and many others. I find it irresistible! You’ll be able to view it on Amazon right here (Amazon hyperlink).
