Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I greatly reduced the quantity (who needs to eat 6 zucchini as a side dish salad?), though I do love my tasty seasoned breadcrumbs so I kink of overloaded my salad with those! (I toasted the garlic with the bread because I do not like/can't eat raw garlic). Really nice flavor combination and I liked that the dressing was just oil and lemon.

    This is good but wow, it was a lot of work grilling all that zucchini. It made an enormous salad and we didn't eat all of it so I think I'll make 1/2 the zucchini next time to shorten the prep time.

    I love grilled zucchini and hadn't actually tried this on my indoor griddle pan. I'm glad I did, and the garlic breadcrumbs makes this a bit more special. Great summer salad!

    We loved this one too and will be making it frequently during zucchini season from now on. It was both the combination of textures as well as the flavors that makes it so delicious. Both are really well-balanced and it is just extremely tasty.

    p. 212 - Outstanding! We didn’t like this, we loved it! This salad shines in its simplicity. Barely dressed greens with just the right amount of freshness from the lemon, the pepper of arugula and the creamy smoky flavours of the zucchini and the crunchy garlicky breadcrumbs all come together and pack a real punch. Not only does this taste great, it looks pretty delicious as well. I can imagine this on many a dinner buffet this summer!
