Mediterranean-Style Grilled Zucchini Salad

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

Transfer to a serving platter and top with a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese, if you like. Serve at room temperature.
