Ingredients
- 1 small courgette , sliced into rounds on the angle
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil , plus extra for griddling
- 2 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice
- ½ tsp honey
- 50g feta , crumbled
- 1 tbsp toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds (optional)
- 1 Little Gem lettuce , cut into wedges then halved into chunks
Method
Heat a griddle pan until hot. Toss the courgette slices in a little olive oil and seasoning, then griddle for 2-4 mins on each side until charred and tender. Set aside to cool. Will keep chilled for 24 hrs.
To make the dressing, whisk together the 2 tbsp olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice and honey, and season with a little salt and pepper. Put the dressing in a large reusable container, or large serving bowl. Add the griddled courgettes, feta, pine nuts or seeds and the lettuce wedges.
When ready to serve, turn the container upside down or give it a good shake to coat everything in the dressing, or mix everything in the serving bowl to serve straightaway.
