Ingredients

11 total
  • 2 small courgettes, salad
  • 1 small bunch of mint, leaves picked and shredde
  • 3 tbsp of mixed seeds
  • 4 slices of focaccia or ciabatta
  • 90 g of milano salami
  • 1 small bunch of basil, leaves picked
  • 200 g of burrata, drained
  • 5 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tsp of honey

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Make the dressing by combining the oil, lemon, garlic and honey with some seasoning to taste and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, mix the grated courgettes with salt, pepper and the shredded mint. Then stir through the dressing, saving some to drizzle over at the end.

  3. Step 3

    In a dry non-stick frying pan, toast the seeds for 1-2 mins and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Bring a griddle pan to a high heat and griddle the focaccia or ciabatta slices, turning once so each side has nice charred marks. If you don’t have a griddle pan you can just lightly toast it instead.

  5. Step 5

    Plate up the courgette and the bread with some slices of salami on top, followed by the basil leaves. Gently break into the burrata and place onto the courgette – it’s very creamy so it will ooze liquid.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle over the rest of the reserved dressing and the toasted seeds. Eat at once.
