These zucchini planks absorb the zesty marinade, then hit the grill for a smoky finish. Fresh herbs and briny feta cheese balance the flavor. This versatile side dish pairs well with grilled chicken, steak or fish.

Ingredients

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon salt-free za'atar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ pounds zucchini (about 4 large), cut into 1/4-inch-thick planks
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped unsalted pistachios

Directions

Whisk oil, vinegar, za'atar, mint, basil, mustard and salt together in a large bowl or shallow container. Add zucchini; toss to coat. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Remove the zucchini planks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off (reserve the marinade). Oil the grill grates. Grill the zucchini, uncovered, until tender, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the grilled zucchini to a large platter. Top with the reserved marinade, feta and pistachios. Sprinkle with additional mint and basil before serving, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
