Equipment

  • Grill Pan or Grill

Ingredients

Lemon Vinaigrette:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ lemon juice, and zest
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Pinch of sugar, to taste

Zucchini:

  • 2 zucchini quartered lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp pine nuts toasted
  • 1 tbsp feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp basil chopped

Instructions

  • Make the vinaigrette by whisking together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and re-season if necessary.
  • Toss the zucchini with olive oil then season with sea salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Grill the zucchini on the grill (or in a grill pan) on one side until the grill marks appear, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip wedges and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes. Cut each quarter in half crosswise, and return to the bowl.
  • To serve, pour the well-whisked vinaigrette over the zucchini. Add the pine nuts, feta cheese, and basil then toss gently to coat evenly. Serve warm. Enjoy.
