Light and Fluffy Zucchini Fritters with Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce

Greek Zucchini Fritters with Tzatziki

MMM...such a light and satisfying summer meal!  The fresh dill really stands out in this recipe.  Pair with a tossed green salad for a complete meal.

Ingredients:
2 cups zucchini, grated and squeezed dry (I layered paper towels around the grated zucchini to squeeze dry)
1 handfull of fresh herbs, chopped (such as parsley, dill, or mint - I used parsley and dill)
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup feta, crumbled
1 egg
salt/pepper
2 Tbsp oil

Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce: 
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt


Directions:
Mix zucchini, herbs, onions, feta, egg, and salt and pepper together in a bowl.  Heat oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan.  Spoon ~1/3 cup of the zucchini mixture into the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, ~4 minutes per side.

For the dipping sauce, mix all ingredients together and chill in refrigerator until ready to use.
