Thursday’s Side Dish: Zucchini and Red Onion Salad

Changing things up for summer

This colorful and refreshing salad is just right for the summer. We usually use cucumber in this kind of a recipe but decided to try something else. Zucchini provides a crisp and satisfying bite that’s a perfect accompaniment to tangy red onion and little cubes of flavorful feta cheese. We dressed all these ingredients up with a shot of red wine, vinegar, and a pinch of black pepper.
Here is our recipe:

What you will need:

1 medium-sized bowl
Plastic wrap
1 wooden spoon
2-3 medium sized zucchini squashes, roughly sliced into 2-inch spears
1 red onion, sliced
½ cup feta cheese, diced into bite-sized cubes
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup red wine (we used cabernet sauvignon)
6 mint leaves
Pinch of black pepper

Preparation and Directions:

Combine zucchini, red onion, feta cheese, and mint in bowl. Mix well. Add black pepper, red wine, and white vinegar. Toss well and cover with plastic wrap. Finally, place salad in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or even overnight and then serve.
