Grilled Zucchini Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • Olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 cup packed chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh basil (or tarragon)

Directions

  1. Place the zucchini into a large bowl. Drizzle about 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with cumin. Toss with your clean hands to combine.
  2. Heat a grill or griddle until hot, add zucchini in batches (do not crowd). Grill for 4 minutes or so, turning over a couple of times until zucchini are cooked through and perfectly charred.
  3. Transfer grilled zucchini back to the bowl. Add lemon juice, fresh garlic, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Add fresh herbs and toss again gently.
  4. Transfer to a serving platter and top with a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese, if you like. Serve at room temperature.
