Method
step 1
Heat a griddle pan until hot. Toss the courgette slices in a little olive oil and seasoning, then griddle for 2-4 mins on each side until charred and tender. Set aside to cool. Will keep chilled for 24 hrs.
step 2
To make the dressing, whisk together the 2 tbsp olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice and honey, and season with a little salt and pepper. Put the dressing in a large reusable container, or large serving bowl. Add the griddled courgettes, feta, pine nuts or seeds and the lettuce wedges.
step 3
When ready to serve, turn the container upside down or give it a good shake to coat everything in the dressing, or mix everything in the serving bowl to serve straightaway.
