Greek Style Zucchini Salad

This salad is great for the summer. Fresh and light. An ideal side dish for a barbecue. And you can make it the day before, so you have less stress.

I even called my mom to give her the recipe. Cause I know it's something she and my dad would like and they have lots of zucchinis growing in their garden.
The call was actually kinda funny. My mom wanted to try it out immediately. And was upset cause she didn't have any lemons.
"And dad was just grocery shopping. If I had known. Than I could make it now!" ... "If I just had lemons." ... and it went like that for a few minutes. And then "Mom do you have scallions?" "No." "The cheese?" "No." "So, you actually only have the zucchini."

I doubled the quantity. Cause I only had big zucchinis from my parents garden. I didn't want to leave a cut piece. But really it's not so much, particularly if you make it for a barbecue.
