Summer squash and zucchini are ubiquitous in the summer and we’ve even heard stories of people dropping bags of zucchini on neighbor’s front doors in an attempt to offload them. Please, send them our way! High in moisture content with a tender, edible skin, they’re an unsung hero of summer and can be incredible versatile.
Here we’ve got an easy salad featuring grilled zucchini that will reduce your time in the kitchen. The only heat is from the grill or grill pan to char the zucchini, adding an extra layer of flavor to the dish.

Ingredients
4 medium sized zucchinis, sliced on bias ½ inch thick
1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced into thin rounds

6 tbsp thinly sliced mint leaves
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
