Mediterranean Courgette and Olive Salad

This vibrant salad is a celebration of summer. Tender courgette, salty olives, and the buttery crunch of toasted pine nuts. It’s a feast of contrasting textures and bright, herbaceous flavours that is perfect for a BBQ side dish.

Beyond its deliciousness, this salad is quick to make and is nutritionally packed! Courgettes provide hydration and vitamin C, olives offer heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, while pine nuts bring a bit of plant-based protein, magnesium, and vitamin E. Its Mediterranean roots make it naturally gluten-free and vegan.

Mix & season

In a bowl, combine the sautéed courgettes, halved olives, toasted pine nuts, and chopped parsley. Drizzle over lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine.

Step 3

Serve & enjoy
