1 Video | Photo: Grilled Zucchini Salad with Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette and Shaved Romano and Toasted Pine Nuts Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into thin strips
- Canola oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Wedge Pecorino Romano, for shaving
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
- Fresh mint leaves, torn
Directions
Heat the grill to high heat. Brush the zucchini on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for just about 1 minute per side (until slightly charred and wilted), then remove them to a platter.
Whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, to taste, and salt and pepper, to taste, and parsley in a small bowl. Slowly, whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the zucchini and let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature. Top with shaved cheese, pine nuts, parsley and mint leaves.

This is a tasty recipe, but I believe as written it has some flaws. First, as others have noted, this is waaaayyy too much dressing for 2 medium zucchini. I used 4 squash, and it was still way too much -- you could easily coat 8 medium squash with this much dressing. Also, cutting the zucchini into thin strips is OK, but I think chunking it or cutting it into rounds or on the diagonal would probably be better, giving the squash more "body." Grilling time is more than 1 minute per side, even if cut into thin slices, which I did. If you only halve the zucchini, it will take considerably longer. I don't know about Bobby's people, but 2 medium zucchini would not feed any 4 people I know...even the 4 zucchini I used didn't make it. I will make this again, but will do things differently based on my first experience with the recipe.

OMG! Delicious, what a different flavor for zucchini. The mix of the dressing, pine nuts and herbs create an explosion of flavor in your mouth, together with the smoky flavor of the grilled zucckini. Another great recipe from Bobby
