Grilled Stuffed Bell Peppers Salad Recipes

GRILLED AND STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cook rice according to package directions (instant rice usually calls for 1 cup water boiled, rice added and allowed to sit for 5 minutes).
• Meanwhile, half bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes.
• With cut side of bell pepper facing down, shave a small part of the pepper from the middle, so when you turn it over it will lie flat.
• Once rice is finished, stir in butter, salt, pepper, and basil.
• Toss cheese with flour, then stir into rice mixture.
• Pack bell pepper halves with rice mixture.
• Grill on medium high heat for 15 min or until peppers are cooked through.

GRILLED STUFFED BELL PEPPERS SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Preheat grill and lightly oil rack.
• Thread mushrooms through stem end onto skewers. Lightly brush mushrooms, onion, and zucchini with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Grill vegetables, turning occasionally, until peppers are crisp-tender and remaining vegetables are just tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes for peppers and onion, 6 minutes for zucchini, and 8 minutes for the mushrooms.
• Transfer peppers to a plate and remaining vegetables to a cutting board.
• When cool enough to handle, remove mushrooms from skewers and quarter; transfer to a medium bowl.
• Cut onion and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Transfer 3/4 of the onion (reserving remaining onion) and all of the zucchini to the bowl of mushrooms.
• Add the sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons pesto to bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
• Spoon the mixture into pepper halves and grill, covered, until the cheese begins to melt, about 3 minutes. Transfer to serving plates and arrange arugula alongside the stuffed peppers.
• Drizzle arugula with remaining dressing and top with reserved onions.
• Serve peppers warm with remaining pesto on the side.
