Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. zucchini, shaved with a vegetable peeler
- 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 1/3 c. feta, finely crumbled
- 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. honey
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander (optional)
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 c. pine nuts, toasted, crushed
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss zucchini with 1 tsp. salt. Let sit 10 minutes. (The salt will soften the zucchini and draw out liquid as it sits.)
- In a large bowl, combine, feta, oil, lemon juice, honey, coriander (if using), and 1/2 tsp. salt. Using the back of a fork, mash feta so it dissolves into a creamy dressing. Stir in mint.
- Drain zucchini, then add to bowl with dressing and toss to combine. Sprinkle with pine nuts; season with pepper.
