- Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 rashers middle bacon, finely chopped
- 2 green zucchini, coarsely grated
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 1/3 cup (50g) self-raising flour
- 1 tbs coarsely chopped dill
- 200g Lemnos Smooth Fetta, crumbled

Method:
- Cook the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
- Use your hands to squeeze as much liquid from the zucchini as possible. Place in a large bowl. Add the bacon, egg, flour and dill. Stir to combine. Add half the fetta and stir to combine.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Spoon ¼-cupfuls of zucchini mixture around the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining mixture in 2 more batches.
- Combine the avocado, tomatoes and lime juice in a medium bowl. Use the back of a spoon to lightly crush. Add the chives and remaining fetta and gently toss to combine.
- Place the fritters on serving plates. Top with avocado salsa and serve immediately, with lime wedges, if desired.
