Ingredients
- For the Salad:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 2 cups mixed greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- While the grill is heating, brush the zucchini slices with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.
- Grill the zucchini slices for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they have grill marks and are tender but still slightly firm. Remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, grilled zucchini slices, sliced avocados, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseeds, olive oil, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the flaxseed vinaigrette.
- Drizzle the flaxseed vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large bowl.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure the dressing coats all the vegetables.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve your grilled zucchini and avocado salad immediately as a delicious and satisfying low-carb meal.
