The Zucchini Project - Recipe 2 & 3 - Grilled Zucchini and Zalad

GORP Zucchini Project

Grilled Zucchini Day 1 = Awesome Zalad Day 2!

This is a recipe that hits 2 zucchinis with one stone. . .so to speak!

On Day 1 you grill these zuccs on the BBQ (recipe below) and on Day 2 you use the leftovers to make this Saweet Zalad. . .that’s zucchini speak for one sweet salad;)

Grilled Zucchini

Cut 2 medium Zucchinis or one gigantatron Zucchini into rounds about ¼ inch thick.

In a separate bowl mix the following:

¼ cup olive oil

2 cloves crushed garlic

1 tablespoon of oregano

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice with a bit of shaved rind if you are feeling it!

Salt and pepper to taste

Throw on the grill on medium heat and proceed to brush mixture onto the rounds. Flip after about 4 minutes and apply mixture to other side. Flip once more at the end and do a second coating along with some shaved parmesan cheese if you are the cheesy type! Let the cheese melt for about a minute and remove from the grill!

I find each BBQ different so keep an eye on these guys. . .it should only take 10 minutes or so. You want them to be firm but cooked!

Not every “zig” in the face of a “zag” has worked out for me, (I’ve made some very expensive mistakes), but I agree with the idea that if you follow the MASSES sometimes the “M” is silent! And that brings you further away from YOU.
