Courgette and feta salad

Beautifully summery and vibrant our courgette and feta salad is zingy with a kick of heat and perfect for serving alongside summer meals. A grilled zucchini salad you’ll just LOVE!

Chargrilled zucchini slices tossed together with crumbled tangy feta cheese. Served with a scattering of finely sliced red chilli and lemon zest finished with a drizzle of olive oil and chopped mint.

This summer salad is just mouthwateringly good. And one of my absolute favourite ways to use up a glut of courgettes.

I like to serve this alongside BBQ kebabs or grilled prawns but it also tastes just delicious stuffed into warm pittas or wrapped in a flatbread.

Courgette and Feta Salad Ingredients

  • 3 courgettes – simply washed and then sliced
  • 100g feta cheese – you could switch the cheese for mozzarella if you prefer.
  • hot red chilli – finely sliced – de-seed the chilli if you prefer a milder taste.
  • zest of a lemon
  • a little olive oil to drizzle
  • pinch of sea salt
  • chopped mint leaves to garnish – find out how to grow your own herb garden here.

How to make grilled zucchini salad

  • Griddle or BBQ slices of courgette and let them cool a little. They’ll only take a short time to cook so keep an eye on them so they don’t end up to charred.
  • Grab yourself a large plate or platter and assemble your salad. Just simply layer up a salad platter with courgette slices, scatter over the feta cheese and let it mingle with the warm courgettes.
  • Then scatter over the chopped red chilli and lemon zest.
  • Season with Maldon sea salt flakes and drizzle with olive oil and then add a little chopped fresh mint leaves. You could also used torn basil or finely chopped oregano if you prefer.

Make Chargrilled Zucchini Salad your way

  • don’t like chilli – then miss it out altogether for a milder salad.
  • try torn mozzarella instead of feta or even blue cheese if you like a more punchy flavour
  • switch basil leaves for mint
  • garnish with lime zest instead of lemon
  • add in some chargrilled fennel slices or mushrooms for a twist on the flavours
  • you could also add a scattering of toasted pine nuts or bashed up walnut pieces for a little extra crunch.
