Ingredients
Scale
Zucchini
- 4 medium zucchini
Dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Slice Zucchini: Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thin strips to prepare for grilling.
- Grill Zucchini: Heat a large non-stick griddle pan over medium-high heat. Place the zucchini strips on the pan without adding any oil. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until the zucchini develops brown grill marks and softens slightly.
- Prepare Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped garlic, chopped parsley, and salt until well combined.
- Toss Salad: Pour the dressing over the warm grilled zucchini strips and mix thoroughly to coat. Serve the salad either warm or chilled according to your preference.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or red chili flakes to the dressing.
- You can substitute parsley with fresh basil or cilantro for a different herbaceous note.
- This salad can be served as a side dish or a light vegetarian lunch.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the griddle to get nice grill marks on the zucchini.
- Use fresh zucchini that are firm and medium-sized for the best texture.
