An easy grilled zucchini salad with feta cheese and mint that makes a great low carb vegetarian summer dish. Cooked on a grill or griddle pan this low carb vegetable dish is delicious served warm or cold.
Zucchini, feta and mint make a great flavour combination and are often made into fritters but this is a simple way of enjoying them. Tossed in a lemon garlic dressing for extra flavour. Don't be stingy with the mint either! Make it a large handful.
This is one of my favourite summer salads which I have been making for years so it's about time I shared it! It will often appear as a side dish when I am hosting a barbeque as it's effortless to make whilst entertaining.
How to make grilled zucchini salad
You can cook this on the barbeque, under a grill on or on a griddle pan to get those lovely dark lines on the the zucchini.
To make this zucchini salad you need:
- Zucchini - large ones are better if you can get them as they cook well on the barbeque without fear of them falling down the grill.
- Feta cheese - The creamy salty taste goes well with the zucchini.
- Fresh mint - This perks up the dish to give it a taste of summer.
- Dressing - A simple salad dressing made with lemon juice and olive oil

This zucchini salad can easily be made keto vegan by omitting the Feta cheese. Although delicious with the zucchini and mint combination, you could add cubes of tofu or use a vegan Feta cheese.
