Courgette Feta Mint Salad Recipes

COURGETTE, FETA & MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Peel the courgettes into long ribbons with a potato peeler. Arrange with the rocket on a large platter. Scatter over the feta and mint leaves, and drizzle on your favourite dressing.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH FETA, LEMON AND MINT

Steps:

• For the zucchini: Preheat a large grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Combine all of the zucchini with the oil and salt in a large bowl and toss to coat.
• Working in batches, grill the zucchini in a single layer until it starts to soften and grill marks appear on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a separate large bowl.
• Meanwhile, for the vinaigrette: Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, shallot, garlic, Dijon, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk together. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil and sunflower oil. Whisk in the mint and Aleppo pepper.
• Add about 1/3 cup of the dressing to the zucchini and gently toss. Transfer to a serving plate.
• For serving, sprinkle the zucchini salad with the feta, mint, Aleppo pepper and flaky sea salt.

GRIDDLED COURGETTES WITH PINE NUTS & FETA

Steps:

• Brush a griddle pan with a little of the oil and place on a high heat, then griddle courgettes in batches for 2-3 mins on each side until charred and cooked through. Keep warm while you cook the rest.
• Layer on a platter and sprinkle over the lemon zest, then top with the feta, pine nuts, chilli and mint. Drizzle over the rest of the oil and some seasoning. Serve warm or at room temperature.
