  This is a winner. I make this often and serve it either as a starter or a bigger portion for light lunch. Always get rave reviews. Grilling the courgettes in a (rather small) griddle pan can be a bit lenghty, so I often cook them in a big non stick fan, or grill them on the BBQ in the summer. It taste as good with the courgettes at room temperature, which allows to grill them in advance.

  Tried this for the first time and even courgette hating husband loved it! The dressing tasted odd before I put it over the salad but really worked when combined with all the flavours together. No pinenuts so toasted hazelnuts - worked well. I would never have combined mozzarella with mint (and was tempted to replace with basil) but stuck with the recipe - surprisingly good. Next time variations will be - salty feta and walnuts or grilled halloumi and baby beetroot. But excellent way to use up the glut of courgettes I have at the moment.
