    Something about the recent time change has me in a GREAT mood.

    I mean, a few extra hours of sunlight each day does wonders for this woman 🙂

    I'm probably jumping the gun here... it's only mid-April... but I'm already busting out the grill pan and pretending it's summer!

    And one of my favorite parts about summer, is hot veggies fresh off the grill.

    They get that delicious char on them, remain crisp tender, and are SO easy to make.

    Since grilled veggies have so much flavor on their own, I like to keep it simple.

    Just a simple vinaigrette, and maybe a little cheese tossed in there, and you're good to go.

    For this recipe, I've tossed my grilled zucchini with lots of lemon, fresh mint, and crumbed feta cheese.

    It's a perfectly balanced bite.

    You've got the fresh pop of lemon, creamy tangy cheese, and the palate-cleansing fresh mint.

    And one of the best parts?

    It's ready in just 20 minutes. Winning.

    Ingredients 

    • 4 medium zucchini, cut on the bias into ½ inch thick slices
    • olive oil, for grilling
    • sprinkle of kosher salt & ground black pepper
    • 5 ounces crumbled feta cheese
    • zest of 1 lemon
    • juice of 1 lemon
    • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint

    Instructions

    • Preheat a grill or grill pan over high high heat.
    • Place the sliced zucchini in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Toss with your hands until all the zucchini are evenly coated with oil and salt and pepper (make sure you use a generous amount of oil, or else the zucchini will stick to the grill!)
    • Add half of the zucchini to the grill (you'll probably need a grill basket) or grill pan. Grill for a few minutes on each side, until the zucchini is nicely charred but just tender. Remove to a large bowl & repeat with the second half of the zucchini.
    • As the zucchini cools, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh mint. Pour over the warm zucchini. 
    • Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the zucchini & toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.

      I don't like fresh mint so i used Baxter's mint jelly, which the lemon juice thinned out perfectly. It came out delicious! This is a lovely, fresh, vibrant dish, so perfect for summer. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing!

        PS Baxter's is very herbal. It's nothing like the flourescent green stuff most people think of ( in the US ) when they hear 'mint jelly'.
