One of the most important pillars of Mediterranean cuisine, Greek food empasizes fresh flavors from natural ingredients prepared for leisurely meals with friends and family.
Since this is the time of year where many of us are enjoying a zucchini surplus from our gardens or local markets, I thought I would share this simple (and simply wonderful) salad recipe for Grilled Greek Zucchini Salad from the folks at Kalyn’s Kitchen.
Low in carbs but packed with flavor, this refreshing salad is great for anyone looking for an easy but sensual salad pick-me-up that can either be made outdoors on a BBQ grill or indoors in a grill pan or on an electric grill.
