\ud83c\udf4b Born from leftover dressing in the fridge<\/h3>\n

This recipe is a happy accident. The night before, I’d made my beef tenderloin salad with its lemon and Dijon mustard vinaigrette. The next day, I was making a rib roast in the oven and I had some leftover dressing in the fridge. I figured it would probably be great on grilled zucchini. Honestly, it was insane how good it was. The lemon and Dijon wake up the zucchini, which needs a little help in the flavour department, and the honey softens things just enough so it doesn’t bite. Since then, I don’t wait for leftovers to make it.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf3f The spice I always have in my cupboard<\/h3>\n

The secret on the grill is the Clubhouse Lemon & Herb seasoning<\/a>. It’s one of my favourite spice blends, I put it on everything, and it’s truly a must-have in the kitchen. I buy it in a big jar because I go through it fast. On zucchini, it doubles down on the citrus note from the vinaigrette and adds a little herby quality that makes all the difference. If you can’t find it, any lemon-based spice blend will do.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25 Zero marinade, five minutes on the grill<\/h3>\n

Every grilled zucchini recipe I see tells you to marinate for an hour in the fridge. I don’t do that, and I’d even say it’s pointless: zucchini is loaded with water, the marinade doesn’t penetrate, it stays on the surface and ends up dripping down into the barbecue. I slice thick, oil, season, grill, and drizzle only when it comes off. It’s fresh, it’s light, and it’s the perfect side dish next to a steak or a roast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
