directions
1 Use a vegetable peeler to peel the courgettes lengthways into wide, thin ribbons. Brush both sides of each ribbon with olive oil.
2 Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and cook the courgette ribbons in batches until lightly charred on each side.
3 Place the slices in a single layer on a large serving platter and allow to cool for 4-5 minutes. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
4 In a jar, combine the extra-virgin olive oil and the lemon juice. Close the lid tightly and shake to combine.
5 When the courgettes have cooled a little, scatter over the Feta, garlic and chilli. Tear over the fresh herbs and drizzle over the vinaigrette to serve.
