Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    3. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    4. 1/2 teaspoon honey
    5. 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
    6. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    7. Four 1/2-pound zucchini, or 2 zucchini and 2 yellow squash
    8. 1 garlic clove, minced
    9. 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped thyme
    10. 1/2 teaspoon coarsely chopped rosemary
    11. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    12. 20 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
    13. 6 ounces feta cheese, preferably French, cut into small dice (1 cup)
    14. 3 ounces pitted Calamata olives, chopped (1/2 cup)

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the lemon juice, mustard, honey and lemon zest and season the dressing with salt and pepper.
  2. Using a mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick "pappardelle," turning the zucchini and slicing on 4 sides only until the seeds in the central portion are reached; discard the zucchini centers.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the garlic with the thyme, rosemary, crushed red pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the zucchini slices on a large rimmed baking sheet and brush them with the garlic and herb oil. Broil for about 3 minutes, or until the zucchini is browned on top.
  4. Spread the cherry tomatoes on another baking sheet and broil for about 1 minute, or until they are lightly browned on top.
  5. Add the tomatoes to the zucchini and drizzle with the mustard dressing. Toss the vegetables well and transfer to plates or a platter. Top with the feta and olives and serve.
