Zucchini Artichoke Summer Salad image

I made up this salad because our garden is simply overflowing with zucchini! We ate it as a main dish for dinner tonight with Italian seasoning-covered rolls on the side, but it could easily be eaten as a side dish.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 zucchini, cut into 1 1/2-inch sticks
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook chicken breasts in the hot oil until they are no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini in the hot oil until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Mix zucchini, garbanzo beans, olives, artichoke hearts, and Parmesan cheese with chicken; toss to combine. Chill in refrigerator before serving, about 1 hour.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed this salad. The artichokes and dressing really balance out the flavor of the zucchini.
