Found this recipe on Instagram and I just tried it. It's so yummy! I used Cavili Zucchini instead of regular ones though.

Ingredients:

For the zucchini:
3–4 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise into 6mm (¼ inch) slices
Extra virgin olive oil, for greasing and drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of ½ lemon (for serving)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the whipped feta:
200g feta cheese
140g Greek yogurt
4 fresh mint (dyosmos) leaves
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
1 small garlic clove (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

📌 Note: No need to add extra salt to the sauce—feta is already salty.

Instructions
1. Prepare the zucchini:
Lightly grease a pan with olive oil. Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Pan-sear over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
2. Make the whipped feta:
In a blender or food processor, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, mint leaves, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic (if using), and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. Assemble the dish:
Spread the whipped feta on a serving plate. Arrange the warm zucchini slices on top. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, squeeze the remaining ½ lemon over everything, and finish with chopped fresh parsley.
