Recipe type: Grilling
Cuisine: Salad
Serves: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
  • Veggies for Grilling
  • 4 zucchini
  • 1 red onion
  • 6 mini bell peppers
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh mint
  • Lemon Dill Marinade
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon (for juice & zest)
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh dill
  • Sea salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Clean and oil the outdoor grill. (Alternatively, you can use an indoor grill pan on the stove top.)
  2. Turn grill on to a medium high heat, cover lid, and allow it to heat up as you prep the veggies.
  3. Prep the lemon dill marinade by whisking together olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice (from 1 lemon), fresh minced dill, sea salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. (Chop fresh mint and reserve for garnish.)
  4. Cut zucchini in half across, and then thinly slice zucchini into long thin strips. Slice red onion and one lemon into rounds. Slice mini bell peppers in half. Optional: you can put the cherry tomatoes onto a skewer if you want to grill them too, or just slice cherry tomatoes in half and serve them fresh.
  5. Toss sliced veggies in marinade to lightly coat. Shake off as much of the oil marinade as you can before laying each veggie on the grill.
  6. Grill zucchini and other veggies for a few minutes per side, until lightly charred. The goal is to get flavorful grill marks on each side of the veggies, while lightly cooking the veggies.
  7. Arrange grilled veggies on a platter or in a salad bowl to serve. Drizzle any remaining marinade over top, and garnish with a little sea salt, black pepper, and fresh mint.
