Salads & Vegetables
Grilled Zucchini Salad
Happy Tuesday, friends! It's been a little while since we've talked food here, and the reason is two-fold. One: I went down a vintage glassware rabbit hole (and I mean that in the best way possible!) preparing for last Saturday's sale. (There are still a few pieces in the "Shop!" highlight on Instagram!) And two: I decided to start my weekend early for some socially-distant escapades, each of which proved to be much needed and therapeutic, but also, per usual, all about food and wine. By Sunday, I was a puffy, hungover version of my former self, which means Monday could bring only one thing: salad.
With summer produce at its peak and tomato season in full swing, I'm finding salads to be quite delightful these days (save for the last few, that is), especially when the grill is involved. Love me a good warm-cold combo! Here, thin slices of zucchini are grilled until tender and then combined with arugula, pine nuts, Parmigiano-Reggiano and tomatoes.
