Hubby was getting really tired of all the raw zucchini I’ve been serving him. Even though I love zucchini noodles and raw slices as chips, hubby wasn’t even wanting a few slices in his salad. Uh oh! The garden was still producing. What’s a good wife to do? When hubby is Greek, the answer is easy; make Kolokithia! This is a healthier, vegan version of the traditional Greek zucchini dish. Hubby is happy and I am too. If you have tons of zucchini, make a double batch so you’ll have leftovers.
