Ingredients:

For the Zucchini & Feta Fritters:

• 2 zucchinis, grated
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup olive oil, for frying

For the Creamy Cucumber Yogurt Dip:

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup grated cucumber (squeeze out excess moisture)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

For the Zucchini & Feta Fritters:

1. Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture to prevent soggy fritters.
2. Mix the fritter ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, chopped green onions, minced garlic, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
3. Cook the fritters: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to flatten each scoop into a fritter shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

For the Creamy Cucumber Yogurt Dip:

1. Prepare the dip: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (make sure to squeeze out excess moisture), lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Serve:

Serve the zucchini fritters hot with the creamy cucumber yogurt dip on the side for dipping.
