To achieve those coveted grill marks and enhance the flavor of your vegetables, preheating your grill or grill pan is an essential step. Start by setting your grill to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach a temperature of about 400°F to 450°F (204°C to 232°C). This range is ideal for grilling zucchini, bell peppers, and red onions, as it allows for a quick char while ensuring the vegetables remain tender on the inside.

Ingredients
  

3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated.

    Grill the Vegetables: Place the zucchini slices on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until you see grill marks and the zucchini is tender but still has some bite. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Grill the Bell Pepper and Onion: In the same grill pan, toss the diced red bell pepper and sliced red onion with the remaining olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred and softened.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

          Top with Feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the salad and gently incorporate it without breaking it down too much.

            Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful grilled zucchini salad warm or at room temperature!
