Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup feta cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup fresh mint

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lightly season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4

Grill the zucchini slices for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they develop nice grill marks and are tender. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

While the zucchini is cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, honey, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Cut the grilled zucchini slices into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 7

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the zucchini.

Step 8

Roughly chop the parsley and mint, then add them to the bowl along with the crumbled feta cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring the zucchini and tomatoes are evenly coated.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
