This lovely summer salad goes well with anything you are planning to cook on the grill. There is just something so fresh and lovely about pairing a raw vegetable salad with something cooked outside on the trusty Weber. Thinly sliced zucchini tossed with lemon zest and lemon juice for the perfect brightness, quality olive oil, crunchy roasted pistachios and that salty bite that only comes from shaved Parmesan cheese.
