Grilled Squash And Artichoke Salad Recipes

GRILLED SQUASH AND ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• Toss all ingredients except Parsley in a large bowl.
• Chill at least 30 minutes.
• Toss again then serve, garnishing each portion with chopped, fresh parsley if desired.
• Can be served as is, on a bed of lettuce, or in a sandwich or wrap.
• Note: Grilled eggplant or green tomatoes can be substituted for some or all of the squash but the flavor may overwhelm the dish and require adjustments to the seasoning.

GRILLED SQUASH (PERFECTLY SEASONED!)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Slice the squash on the bias, about 1/2" thick. Place it in a bowl and mix it with the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes (if using).
• Place the squash directly on the grill grates and grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side (4 to 6 minutes total), until charred and tender. Taste and add a few pinches of additional salt if necessary.

ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• Set aside a sheet pan or a large plate. Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the farro and give it a stir. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook according to package instructions, skimming off any foam that rises, until the grains are tender and plump. Depending on the type of farro used, this can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Drain the farro and transfer to the sheet pan or plate; spread out and cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. (If the farro is left to cool in the strainer, it will keep cooking, take longer to cool and turn mushy.)
• Transfer the farro to a medium mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, oil and ½ teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Add the olives, artichoke, feta, dill, red onion and chives, and season with black pepper to taste. Stir and taste. Add more salt, vinegar and oil, as needed.
• Serve right away or store in the fridge for up to 2 days. The farro will absorb the vinegar and oil the longer it sits. Adjust seasoning, vinegar and oil before serving.

ROASTED ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND SQUASH WITH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in upper and lower third. Gently toss together all ingredients in a large bowl.
• Spread vegetables in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Roast, switching baking sheets halfway through cooking, until vegetables are tender and golden brown on the bottom, about 45 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a platter, and serve immediately.
