Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine feta, mint, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and scallions; set aside.

Off heat, coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray; heat over high heat.

Arrange zucchini slices on a platter and serve with reserved feta topping. Yields about 5 chunks zucchini and 15ml (1 tablespoon) feta topping per serving.
