Steps:

• Put all the dressing ingredients in a bowl with 1 tbsp cold water and season with a pinch of salt. Mix together and set aside.
• Put the courgettes in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Add a pinch of salt, then toss.
• Heat a griddle pan to high and add the courgettes, cut-side down (it's best to do this in batches). Cook for 4-5 mins until char marks appear and the flesh softens, then flip over and cook for another 3 mins. Remove to a shallow bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
