Pat dry then brush with the olive oil and sprinkle over the mixed herbs on the cut side.STEP 2Heat a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat. Put the courgettes, scored-side down in the pan and cook for 8-10 mins, until deeply browned. Flip and cook for a further 5 mins until the courgettes are completely soft.STEP 3Meanwhile, combine the dressing ingredients in a wide shallow serving bowl and season to taste. Add the remaining ingredients, reserving a little of the parsley, and toss well to combine. Top with the courgettes and sprinkle over the remaining parsley to serve.
