The ouzo bar is to Greece what the tapas bar is to Spain—a place to gather and eat with friends—and this summer salad is a popular favorite in many ouzo bars around Athens. This recipe appeared in an article on ouzo bars by Cynthia Hacinli in our March/April 1995 issue.
Instructions
STEP 1
Using a mandoline or a knife, julienne zucchini. Halve green beans lengthwise and again horizontally. (Zucchini and beans should be about the same size.) Blanch vegetables, drain, and transfer to a bowl.
STEP 2
Add dill, scallions, and mushrooms. Toss with vinegar and oil, and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
