Zucchini Season

Zucchini season (and all summer squashes for that matter) is upon us! Check out your local farmers' market or grocery store for fresh product! I like to slice them in half, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and grill them best but there are lots of things you can do with them including making a salsa type dip!

2# zucchini, cut into small cubes, and roasted
1/2 cup chopped, fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chopped, fresh  oregano
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped, fresh chives

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil. Toss cubes zucchini with salt, pepper and olive oil. Spread out on baking sheet and then place in oven about 6-8 minutes, until al dente. (The smaller they are the faster they cook, think that you want your cubes to be the size of midget dice - that way they cook quickly and nicely fit onto a pita chip).
2. Remove zucchini from oven and add all remaining ingredients, stir to combine. Serve warm like this or let sit and chill up to 4 hours in ice box.

Serve with pita chips.

ENJOY!!
