Zucchini With Olive Oil & Lemon Dressing – Kolokithia

There are so many fresh summer vegetables to choose from this time of year! Our Zucchini with Olive Oil & Lemon Dressing – Kolokithia is a simple way to enjoy fresh zucchini this summer.

From Lizz: One of the simplest ways to serve fresh vegetables is to steam or boil them. I always enjoy having vegetables this way because I can decide how to season them. Most of the time it’s with a simple Ladolemono sauce.

Zucchini with Olive Oil & Lemon Dressing is a great side dish to enjoy with any grilled seafood or meat. I remember my mother often serving the Zucchini with freshly picked and boiled dandelion greens and Ladolemono. This combination can be served instead of a traditional green salad.
