Zucchini Tomato Skewers with Fresh Herb Dressing
Add these easy and delicious Zucchini Tomato Skewers with Fresh Herb Dressing to any summertime grilling menu!
Ingredients
2 medium-to-large zucchinis
24 red cherry tomatoes
24 yellow or orange cherry tomatoes
Dressing
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Few grinds fresh black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons shallots, minced
1 teaspoon jalapeño pepper, minced
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped (Or half that of dried)
1/2 cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Soak skewers submerged in water for an hour or more.
- Trim both ends of zucchinis.
- Using a mandoline on the smallest setting, slice the zucchinis the long way by removing a little of the skin then slicing 36 long slices. Fold these back and forth like a ribbon into four bends.
- Assemble by first sliding on a yellow or red tomato, then one fold of the zucchini ribbon, then a different color tomato, then the next fold in the ribbon. Slide a new ribbon on repeating the same process one more time and finish with another tomato. At the end it should be tomato, zucchini, tomato, zucchini, tomato, etc.
- Repeat for the remaining skewers.
- In a small bowl, place vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, mustard, shallots and jalapeño. Let sit for ten minutes.
- Add the oregano and parsley and stir.
- Finally, slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking.
- Heat grill to medium heat.
- Brush the skewers with a little oil and once the grill is hot, grill on both sides for a minute or two per side. You want to grill just long enough to heat and slightly char. Too long and the tomatoes will pop.
- To serve, drizzle each portion with the dressing.
