A light and summery salad, bursting with texture, sweet tomatoes and salty feta cheese. A great dish for a simple yet highly flavoursome lunch or a lighter dinner. Add some salmon or grilled chicken if you need something a little more filling.
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Make the courgetti using either a julienne peeler or spiraliser. You can also do this with a standard swivel head peeler; start by making long ribbons before stacking them neatly and cutting them into thin strips, lengthways.
Heat a small frying pan on a medium heat and add the pine nuts. Toast for 2-3 minutes, moving them around the pan a few times until they are golden brown. Remove from the hot pan onto a plate and set aside.
Into a bowl, grate the garlic and add the slow roasted tomatoes plus a good splash of their oil. Add all of the lemon juice and zest and season with salt, pepper and chilli flakes if using.
Add the prepared courgetti to the bowl, crumble on the feta, tear in the basil and add the toasted pine nuts. Toss well and serve with an extra drizzle of the oil from the tomatoes.
