Ingredients

300g Feta, in alternative Haloumi or Kash Cheese
4-5 Zucchini
1 Tablespoon Parsley
1 Teaspoon Honey
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice (or more, this depends on your taste)
2 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A pinch Salt
Pepper

Directions

Cut zucchini halves lengthwise into thin slices. Using a pan, grill each slice over high heat until grill-marked (no oil needed here). Set aside to chill down.
Assemble your Skewers. Cut cheese into cubes (I used Feta). Roll 1 or 2 zucchini slices around each cheese cubes, then thread each one of them onto skewers.
Prepare lemon honey sauce mixing oil, salt, pepper, honey, lemon and chopped parsley. Mix it until well combined.
Serve. You can serve these grilled zucchini and feta skewers cold or warm.
For cold zucchini and feta skewers: just add the sauce on top right before serving, when the skewers are cold.
While, if you want to try a different version you can grill the zucchini and feta skewers on a pan and serve them warm. In this case you will add the lemon honey sauce before serving. Both ways are delicious.
