Cup of Yum
for the zucchini:
- Brush both sides of each zucchini slice lightly with oil (you may not need all of the oil), and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place on hot grill grates or grill pan and cook until beautifully charred and a bit wilted on both sides.
- Transfer to serving platter.
for the lemon-herb vinaigrette:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, lemon juice and zest, honey, and parsley. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, while whisking vigorously, until combined and emulsified.
- Drizzle 2/3 of the vinaigrette over zucchini and let set for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature.
for the garnish:
- Right before serving, drizzle just a bit more of the vinaigrette over the zucchini. Garnish with shaved cheese, toasted pine nuts, and chopped mint and parsley.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adapted, mostly to make a smaller salad, from The Kitchen in Columbus, Ohio.
