Notes

Top Tips:
  • If you don't have chili jam to hand, simply chop up 1 red chili (deseed it first) and mix with 1 tablespoon of runny honey.
  • For an easier salad dressing, simply squeeze lemon juice over the salad and finish with grated lemon zest.
  • Spoon over the salad dressing just before serving to prevent the courgettes ribbons from becoming soggy.
 
Variations:
  • Add toasted pine nuts for crunch and texture.
  • Sprinkle over chopped spring onions for extra flavour.
  • Garnish with a mixture of chopped fresh herbs.
  • Add cooked broad beans for a courgette and broad bean salad.
  • Swap the feta for crumbly blue cheese or goat's cheese.
