Instructions
- Prepare the dip by combining the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon zest and olive oil in a food processor or a blender and processing until smooth. Scrape the dip out of the food processor bowl into a serving plate and mix it with the chopped dill, cover with a cling wrap and refrigerate for the flavours to blend until needed.
- Preheat the grill. Meanwhile, cut the ends of each zucchini and slice them into long and 2/3 inch thick strips. (They shouldn’t be too thin or they will burn and dry out on the grill.)
- Once the grill is hot, spray the zucchini slices with an oil spray or brush each side with olive oil. Season with salt and grill for a couple of minutes on each side. Each slice should be soft and flexible once cooked all the way through.
- Take the feta dip out of the fridge and pile the grilled zucchini slices on top, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil if desired. Sprinkle with additional chopped dill and lemon zest.
