Ingredients

Zucchini Fritters

3 cups zucchini grated
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large eggs beaten
1 teaspoon black pepper ground

Tzatziki Dip

1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 cucumber cucumber grated and drained
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
2 After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
3 In the mixing bowl, combine the zucchini with flour, baking powder, crumbled feta, chopped dill, mint, beaten eggs, and ground black pepper. Mix well to form a batter.
4 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5 Spoon the batter into the skillet to form fritters. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6 Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7 For the tzatziki dip, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated and drained cucumber, chopped dill, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
8 Serve the zucchini fritters warm with the tzatziki dip on the side.
