This salad is light and delicious. Can be served as a main dish or as a starter.

Ingredients:

Salad:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise 

  • A handful of garlic stuffed olives, sliced thinly (you can use unstuffed if you like)

  • 3 cups of mixed leaves (I used rocket, watercress and spinach mix)

  • 1 red pepper, sliced 

  • A handful of pecan nuts 

 Dressing:

  • Flesh of 1 lemon, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, squeezed

  • 2 tbsp of olive oil

  • 2 tbsp of water, mineral or filtered

  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

  • ½ tsp of thyme

Preparation:

  1. Heat a grill pan on medium heat.

  2. Brush sliced zucchini with olive oil and place them on a grill pan in a single layer.

  3. Allow them to char for 2-3 minutes on each side, do not overburn.

  4. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining all dressing ingredients, and then set aside.

  5. Place mixed leaves on a serving plate, then arrange with grilled zucchinis, red pepper and olives.

  6. Drizzle the dressing over salad and enjoy.
