Ingredients
- Courgette: 2 medium, sliced into rounds or half-moons
- Cherry Tomatoes: 10-12, halved
- Red Onion: 1 small, thinly sliced
- Feta Cheese: 100g, crumbled
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp
- Balsamic Vinegar: 1 tbsp
- Fresh Basil: A handful, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle the courgette slices with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar to create the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Once the grill pan is hot, place the courgette slices in a single layer. Grill them for 2-3 minutes on each side until you see grill marks and they’re tender.
- Assemble the Dish: In a large bowl, combine the grilled courgettes, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and crumbled feta.
- Cook to Perfection: Toss the ingredients together gently, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.
- Finishing Touches: Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top for added color and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the salad immediately, or chill it in the fridge for a refreshing cold salad.
Notes
- Grilling Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan for even grilling.
