Zucchini Salad With Sizzled Mint and Feta Recipe (2024)

This is delicious - wonderful flavor and texture! I bought green and yellow squash at the farmer's market today & a small Walla Walla (sweet) onion. Added a few thin-slices (translucent) of the onion in Step 1. Added dried oregano and red-pepper flakes w/ the hot sesame seed/EVOL in step 2, then added a few finely cut fresh mint leaves in Step 3. For extra crunch added some roughly chopped pistachios. Definitely a keeper!

Delightful! I sub’d 2tsp finely chopped fresh mint and it’s splendid.

Substituted Fried Halloumi for the Feta cheese-delicious!

Great salad. Delicious flavors. I added some chick peas sautéed with mild spices and red wine vinegar to complement the spices. Made the dish more substantial.

This was really good! For this recipe, zucchini should be sliced into half-moon pieces rather than cubed to avoid a bite that's too dense. You could throw in more mint (fresh or dried or both) and it'd be great.

I have made this two times, once with red wine vinegar, and once with sherry vinegar. We prefer the red wine vinegar. I wouldn’t change a single thing - this is bright and light and although we prefer it warm, it travels well. You’ve got to try it!

Really good. Had to make with oregano, because I didn't have mint. Even the raw zucchini hating hubby had only good things to say~yum.

Made this and served immediately and it was not very flavorful but light and refreshing. Once I placed the leftovers in the fridge overnight, flavors really blended nicely into the zucchini.

I used pepitas instead of sesame seeds and this was amazing!

Recipe as stated is very heavy on the sesame seeds, to the extent it has more justification to be in the title than mint does.

This would be good as a side with the lamb spiedies.

I used fresh lemon juice in place of the vinegar. That substitution, along with lots of mint, hints of red pepper flakes, and the pop of salty feta made it a star at the potluck picnic! The recipe is forgiving, so adjust amounts till you get the flavors you prefer.

This was so good! I didn't have dried mint, so used oregano instead. Also took the advice to slice the zucchini into thinner half moons--I think it soaked up the juices better. Used both black and white sesame seeds a heavy pinch of red pepper flakes. Served at a dinner party and it was a big hit.

Doubled this for book club. Followed recipe exactly, with the oregano and topped with fresh chopped mint from the garden. So yummy! I also sautéed a can of chickpeas in the pan with some leftover oil and sesame seeds and ate that with the salad for a nice light dinner :)

Excellent AND forgiving. After being out so many nights in a row, I misread everything about this, from not cooking the dried mint leaves with the sesame seeds to not having the honey melting in the warm olive oil. And it still came out phenomenal. Potluck fabulous.

This has become my new favotite.. I sautee the zuccini and herbs and use both whie and black seseme seeds .. i serve it warm.. awsome plant positive option.

I made the recipes as written and tossed in some pomegranate seeds that needed to he used up. Very festive and tasty!

Add black beans for some protein

As a base this was ok. I added more (fresh) mint, some parsley, yellow onion, chickpeas, and lemon juice and it really POPPED! More yum.

I used Spicewalla’s green za’atar and Aleppo pepper as well as fresh chopped mint and shiso. Refreshing salad with good flavor!

Perhaps I'm not as knowledgeable about what "veggie" means. I thought it was the same as vegan. Since this has feta, I guess that's not the case. I would love to see more REAL plant-based recipes.

Great recipe--a nice combination of flavors. I would cut way back on the olive oil; mine was swimming in it.

LOVED this - used fresh mint as my garden is full of it. Next day added baby tomatoes to the left overs
