Method
- Preheat the barbecue or grill
- Make the vinaigrette by whisking all the ingredients together in a bowl, season to taste and set aside.
- Place the peppers on the barbecue, skin side down, and cook for 5-10 minutes until blistered and blackened. Alternatively, place them skin side up under a preheated hot grill and cook for 5-10 minutes until well blistered. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with cling film and set aside.
- Lightly spray the courgette slices with low calorie cooking spray and season well. Cook on the barbecue or a hot griddle for 1½-2 minutes on each side until flecked golden and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Lightly spray the onion rings with low calorie cooking spray, season well and cook on the hot griddle for about 30 seconds on each side until flecked golden. Add to the courgettes in the bowl and pour over the vinaigrette.
- Add the peppers to the rest of the vegetables and leave to marinate until the courgettes are cool. Check the seasoning and serve topped with roughly crumbled Feta and sprinkled with chopped mint.
