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!

Grilled zucchini is so good! I love it! Plus, you don't have to heat up the house. Just take the zucchini outside and fire up the grill!

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!
