Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini sliced thinly lengthwise (use a mandoline if you have one for ¼-inch thick slices)
- 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- ½ lemon juiced
Instructions
- Heat the grill to medium heat.
- Using a pastry brush, use 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to coat both sides of the zucchini slices.
- Place the zucchini slices on the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Add the cooked zucchini to a bowl and season with 1 more tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and herbs. Place the salad on a platter and sprinkle with feta. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Be sure to grease those grill grates so the zucchini doesn't stick. You can also use a grill basket to ensure no sticking.
- Don't overcook the zucchini or it will become mushy and soggy.
- Add in other grilled veggies like red peppers, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus if you have them!
- This recipe comes together quickly but if you need to make it ahead of time, store the zucchini in the fridge in an airtight container. I recommend dressing it right before serving.
- You can serve it straight from the fridge, at room temperature or reheat it quickly on a warm grill or in a skillet.
