Grilled Courgette and pepper Fattoush

This grilled courgette and pepper fattoush is a vibrant, vegetarian take on the classic Levantine bread salad. By lightly charring the Mediterranean vegetables on the grill, you add a wonderful smoky depth that perfectly complements the zingy lemon and cumin dressing. It is a celebratory dish of textures, combining the crunch of toasted pita bread with juicy cherry tomatoes, salty Kalamata olives and creamy feta cheese.

Ideal as a healthy midday meal or a substantial side dish for a summer barbecue, this salad is as nutritious as it is colourful. It is packed with fresh garden herbs like mint and coriander, which provide a cooling finish to the charred vegetables. For an authentic touch, serve it with a generous dusting of sumac to enhance the bright, citrusy notes of the dressing.
