Salad Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini

Dressing Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Slice Zucchini: Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thin strips to prepare them for grilling.
  2. Grill Zucchini: Heat a large non-stick griddle over medium-high heat. Place the zucchini strips on the griddle without any oil. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until they develop brown grill marks and soften slightly.
  3. Prepare Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped garlic, chopped parsley, and salt until well combined.
  4. Toss and Serve: Pour the dressing over the grilled zucchini strips and mix thoroughly. Serve the salad warm or chilled according to your preference.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, allow the zucchini to marinate in the dressing for 30 minutes before serving.
  • This salad can be served as a side dish or a light vegetarian meal.
  • You can substitute parsley with fresh basil or mint for a different flavor profile.
