Grilled Zucchini Salad With Lemon and Scallions

 

Grilled Zucchini Salad with Lemon & Scallions

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds medium zucchini (about 6), halved lengthwise
• 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 scallions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• kosher salt
• (I added Pine Nuts to add a little more yum-iness to this recipe)

Directions

1. Heat grill to medium-high. Brush the zucchini with 1 teaspoon of the oil and grill until tender, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
2. Cut the zucchini into 1-inch pieces and toss in a large bowl with the scallions, lemon juice, red pepper, the remaining tablespoon of oil, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Serve at room temperature. 

I made this last night for dinner as a side to our blue cheese burgers.  I usually like to use the grill basket when I grill my veggies, but last night I made this recipe over the stove using a grill pan. I also added Pine Nuts, which I thought tasted yummy with this veggie "salad." I'm always up for new recipes for veggies! So, if you have some you think are great, I'd love to know!
