Ingredients: 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, toasted and chopped. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 teaspoon honey. 1 clove garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Once the zucchini slices are ready to be served, put them on a serving platter. Put crumbled feta cheese on top of the zucchinis. Put the toasted pistachio breadcrumbs on top of the salad. Add some fresh basil leaves on top to make it look nice and add some flavor. Marinated Zucchini Feta Salad with Toasted Pistachio Breadcrumbs is ready to eat right away.
