Zucchini Feta Dip

15

So this is the cousin of BABA GANOUSH, but instead of eggplant we are opting for the good green stuff: zucchini, which is a vegetable I just can’t get enough of. I also added feta to my dip, of course, because feta always makes it betta. Sorry I have to say that.

So your going to peel and then saute the small chunks of your zucchini in some olive oil to get rid of all the water it contains. This process takes about 10 minutes and you want to be careful and keep your heat on medium. Next let them cool in a plate for 10 minutes and then process them with the rest of your ingredients. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
