1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:
For the Zucchini & Feta Fritters:
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.
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.
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:
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.
