Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini or summer squash
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons loosely packed mint, coarsely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons pine nuts

  2. In a medium bowl, combine zucchini rounds and lemon zest. Toss very gently to coat, or risk tearing the veggies apart.
  3. Place zucchini on a plate in a pretty pattern, overlapping slightly.
