For dressing:
To make the salad, cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and cut into thin slices.
Heat up a large, non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Add the zucchini slices.
Dry roast the zucchini in the skillet, without any oil until they get golden and soften a little.
Transfer the roasted zucchini into a salad bowl. Add the dried mint and sunflower seeds.
To prepare the dressing, in a bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper until well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Top with feta cheese and garnish with pomegranate seeds. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
