Squeeze the excess liquid from the zucchini, place in a bowl and stir in the rest of the fritter ingredients (except the olive oil).

Heat a fry pan over a medium-high heat and add the oil. Roll a small handful of the mixture into a ball and place on the fry pan, pressing down with a spatula to flatten. Turn the heat down to medium and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remainder of the mixture and set aside.

Place the fritters on a plate and top with the avocado salsa, macadamia cheese, additional herbs and a good squeeze of lemon juice.

There should be plenty of macadamia cheese left over. This will keep well in the fridge for up to 1 week.
