Couldn't grill it tonight so placed the zucchini under the broiler. Followed the recipe with tomato, mozzarella, basil, avocado oil, and red wine vinegar. We all loved it. Was easy and delicious, a new summer favorite!

Wow! We really LOVED this recipe. Grilled the zucchini on the barbecue and served the topping on the side. The flavours went together so brilliantly. The only thing I would change (which was my fault in the preparation) would be to leave the topping out of the fridge to get to room temperature before serving so it complements the warm zucchini. We'll be making this very regularly through the summer season. Thanks for a winner! Made for PAC 2012.

This recipe is so healthy and so yummy. That's great! The taste of the zucchini grilled on the barbecue is great. And the topping, almost like a bruschetta. Thanks Weekend cooker :) Made for Holiday tag game
