Ready In: 15 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 6 zucchini, medium sized, rinsed, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch-thick planks
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- table salt
- ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 ripe tomatoes, large, cored, and cut into thin wedges
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves
Directions
- Heat grill. Lay zucchini on large baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

- Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons oil with balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Toss tomatoes and basil with dressing in large bowl.
- Cut grilled zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Toss with tomatoes and dressing. Adjust seasoning and serve. (Can be covered and set aside at room temperature for up to 3 hours at this point.).
