Grilled Zucchini Salad- grilled zucchini served on top of creamy yogurt feta spread and topped with garlic breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and fresh herbs. This simple dish is a great way to use up the stock of summer zucchini.
Zucchini is abundant in gardens and farmers’ markets during the summer months. It’s versatile, mild in flavor, and can be used in a variety of dishes. I love using it to make zucchini bread, zucchini fritters, zucchini cake, zucchini brownies, and more.
I also love making this easy Grilled Zucchini Salad. It can be served as an appetizer or side dish to any meal. It is so fresh and flavorful!
The zucchini has a lovely, smoky, and slightly charred flavor from the grilling, which adds a depth that complements the zucchini’s natural sweetness. The grilling process also brings out a subtle nuttiness and a tender texture.
The zucchini is served on top of a creamy Greek yogurt feta spread that is rich, tangy, and bursting with fresh herbs.
The salad is topped with toasted garlic breadcrumbs, feta cheese, lemon zest, and dill for maximum flavor and glorious textures.
Overall, this salad is a well-balanced dish with a mix of savory, slightly sweet, and tangy flavors. Serve it at your next BBQ, dinner party, or along side any summer meal. It’s a great way to use up the zucchini.
