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

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