A few weeks ago, I shared a recipe for Chocolate Coconut Zucchini Cake and thought about making it again with the plethora of zucchini we have, but I decided to make a salad instead. I have some baby weight to lose:). I know salad isn’t as exciting as cake, but I really love this Grilled Zucchini, Chickpea, Tomato, and Goat Cheese Salad. I promise it’s worth making! Maybe you can eat this salad for dinner and follow it up with the Chocolate Coconut Zucchini Cake. A double dose of zucchini sounds good to me!

This zucchini salad is great served as a main dish or side dish. I ate it for dinner with a side of watermelon. It was the perfect summer meal! And if you aren’t crazy about goat cheese, feta cheese or Parmesan cheese would be good too, but I personally love me some goat cheese!

  1. I seriously just bought ALL these ingredients because I thought I could develop them into something yummy…and then you figured out dinner for me! Yay! Pinned 🙂

  2. This has all of my faves. Goat cheese really puts this over the top and takes it from a salad to a meal!

  3. Zucchini and tomatoes are exploding in my garden – thanks for another way to use both of them at the same time!

  4. Thanks for prolonging the tastes of summer with this gorgeous salad! Pinned for later in the week…

  5. Scrolling FB and I see this Beautiful salad. Looked at the ingredients and was Thrilled I had all the ingredients! (This never happens:) I did the only responsible thing, and made it right away. SO Fantastic! I just finished my bowl and I had visions of licking my bowl clean for every last bit of goodness. THANK YOU for a new family favorite!

  6. It sure is the time of year when salad seems like THE best food choice for both lunch and dinner. But for those of us who like variety, we are always open to new combos. I have often used zucchini in salad, but not as the main driver of the dish. Great idea.

  7. I can never have too many zucchini (or goat cheese) recipes! This one looks perfect!!

  8. Chick peas, zucchini and goat cheese are three of my son’s favorites – I can’t wait to make this for him.
