Finger Food
Chop slices of courgette and feta into small pieces.
Ingredients
-
80 ml olive oil
-
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
-
3 courgettes, cut lengthwise into 1 cm slices
-
2 red or brown onions, cut into thin wedges
-
1 tsp dried oregano
-
1 large handful salad leaves (optional)
-
200g feta cheese, crumbled
This makes the perfect summery salad - ideal as a lunch or light supper. Cooking it on a barbecue gives the vegetables a wonderful smoky flavour
-
To make the dressing, combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Put the courgette on a plate and spoon over about one tablespoon of the dressing, turn to coat, then place on a medium–hot barbecue flatplate or griddle. Repeat with the onion wedges and place over the heat. Cook the vegetables for 8–10 minutes, turning regularly until softened and starting to blacken.
-
Remove the vegetables from the heat and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, whisk the oregano into the remaining dressing.
-
Once the vegetables have cooled, toss together with the salad leaves, if using. Scatter the feta cheese over the vegetables, drizzle with the dressing and serve.
