We have been staying with our good mates (Noreen and Avi) in Cape Cod final week. Fortunately, we had beautiful climate and acquired to do a variety of out of doors issues reminiscent of having fun with a day on the seashore, a little bit climbing, and a few out of doors partying with different mutual mates that we all know from our wintering in Florida!

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!
