FAQ

  • Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

    Yes, you can use dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of each (mint and dill) instead of 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs. Keep in mind that fresh herbs provide a brighter flavor.
  • Can I add other vegetables?

    Certainly! Bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes would be great additions. Add them to the skillet along with the zucchini.
  • What type of feta cheese is best?

    Greek feta is generally considered the best due to its creamy texture and salty flavor. However, any type of feta cheese will work well in this recipe.
