1

Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into thin ribbons.
2

Heat an indoor or outdoor grill over medium-high. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini ribbons on the grates and grill until slightly charred, about a minute. You won't need to flip them since they're so thin. Just remove them from the grill and set aside.
3

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.
4

In a large bowl, toss together the kale, zucchini ribbons and dressing. Transfer to a plate and garnish with toasted cashews and blue cheese crumbles.
