Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
 

Grill the Zucchini: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the zucchini slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the zucchini for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and fresh dill.

      Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the grilled zucchini to the salad mixture. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine everything well, ensuring the zucchini is evenly distributed.

          Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top and sprinkle with additional feta cheese and dill. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to let the flavors meld.
