Grilled Zucchini (Courgette) Salad with Feta and Olives
Total time: 15 minutes
I used 1 small green and 1 small yellow courgette for this salad... Just for color and interest. A basket works best and helps keep the onion together in slices. Serve the salad still warm from the grill.
Ingredients:
- 2 small or 1 medium zucchini
- 1 red onion
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 8 - 10
olives
- 8 - 10
cherry tomatoes
- handful basil leaves
- 2oz (60gr) feta cheese
- Sherry Vinaigrette:
- 1 tbs sherry vinegar
- 1 tbs ketchup
- 2 tsp Dijon-style mustard
- 2 tbs olive oil, for salad
Instructions:
- Cut zucchini into 1/3" (1cm) thick slices. If using small zucchini cut at an angle for larger slices.
- Slice onion.
- Lay zucchini and onion on a plate.
- Brush both sides with oil and sprinkle with paprika.
- Place in a grill basket and grill over direct heat for 7 minutes, turning once.
- Remove and arrange, slightly overlapping, on two plates.
- Cube or crumble feta.
- Cut tomatoes in half.
-
Make vinaigrette:
- Whisk vinegar, ketchup and mustard together in a small bowl.
- Slowly whisk in oil.
- To finish:
- Top zucchini slices with tomatoes, olives, feta and basil leaves.
- Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve.
