Grill your veggies then chop and toss to make a salad that is rich with flavor and inspired from the Mediterranean region.

Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, core and stem removed, cut in quarters
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced
  • Foil and a little vegetable oil
  • Salad:
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 lemon, juice and zest
  • pepper to taste
  • Garnish:
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, stem removed

Instructions

  1. Grill the sliced vegetables on a hot grill with oil and foil. Turn the vegetables after about 2-4 minutes when they are browned and cook until almost tender, about 3 more minutes. Remove the vegetables as they are done and place on a platter. The onions will probably take longer to cook than the squash.
  2. Allow the vegetables to cool slightly. Dice them with a sharp knife and place them in a mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, vinegar, lemon, garlic and basil. Add pepper to taste.
  3. Chef's Tips: Feel free to mix up the types of vegetables that you use for this salad.
