Salad with grilled courgette
Originally this salad with grilled courgette was made for something called the Foodblog swap. It used to be something we did here in the Netherlands. We picked a recipe of a blog we got assigned and made the recipe linking back to the original blogpost.
It was a fun project and I’ve made some delicious recipes as a result of it. But a lot of the blogs at the time don’t exist anymore so it was time to give the post a small make-over.
Grilling the courgette
Now this salad is super easy to make, the only thing that does take a bit of time is the grilling of the courgette. I love courgette (or zucchini, depending on where you live) and it’s such a versatile ingredient. In this case you cut the courgette in thin ribbons length wise. You can slice it in any other way you like, but make sure not to make the slices too thick.
You want them thin so the grilling part is done in no time at all. If you do not have a grill pan, you can easily do the same in a regular skillet. I like the grill marks on the courgette and it does give a slightly different flavor. But not enough to buy a pan if you don’t own one.
Quick salad with grilled courgette
If you’re a fan of courgette you will want to try this delicious salad too. I did make a couple of changes to the original recipe. The original called for 200 grams of feta which is a bit excessive for just two people. So I halved the amount. I also left out the red onions and I forgot to add the olives. If you’re a fan of raw onions (I’m not) you can add the sliced red onion in and add olives if you want.
I did add a bit of pumpkin seeds for added crunch as well. This can be replaced by sun flower seeds or some chopped roasted nuts. All in all, this salad with grilled courgette is easy and delicious!
