Grilled Zucchini

Grilled Zucchini Salad

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 pounds zucchini quartered lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup extra-vigin olive oil
  • Kosher or sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese optional
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs such as basil, mint or tarragon

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the slivered almonds evenly on a sheet tray in one layer. Toast for 5-7 minutes, checking the nuts after 5 minutes as they burn easily. Toast until lightly browned.
  2. Light the grill or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the zucchini with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill the zucchini over high heat, turning once. Grill until charred on both sides and tender. Transfer to a platter and cut the zucchini into pieces, on the diagonal. If using the ricotta cheese, place a few dollops over the zucchini. Sprinkle on the toasted almonds and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Drizzle the zucchini with pomegranate molasses and add the fresh chopped herbs.
