When the whipped feta trend was going off online, I knew it would taste mighty fine with grilled zucchini. And honestly, I don’t think another dish has better combined my favourite things about summer: grilling and shareable dips. I guess I’m saying good things come from online trends — sometimes?

Ingredients
Method
Grilled Zucchini
- Heat grill to 400°F. While you wait, cut 4 large zucchini into wedges, about 3 inches long x 1/2-inch thick. Add zucchini to a large bowl and cover with 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp salt. Toss until evenly coated.
- Oil the grill using a brush or towel. Place zucchini perpendicular to the grate lines. Close the lid and let cook for 5 minutes, or until there are visible grill marks. Flip and repeat until all sides have kissed the grill and the zucchini is tender, to the eye it will be softer and smaller.
Whipped Feta
- To a blender, add 5oz feta, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp salt, 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp thyme. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure there are no chunks. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Spread onto a large serving platter and top with grilled zucchini, finish with the juice of 1/2 a lemon and serve with more lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Make Ahead
The whipped feta can be made 1-2 days in advance. Cover and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
