Grilled Summer Vegetable Salad Recipes

BIG GRILLED VEGGIE SALAD

Steps:

• Thread the mushrooms, zucchini, squash, orange bell pepper, green bell pepper and onions onto separate skewers.
• Mix the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the kebabs all over with the oil mix.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When it is hot, grill the kebabs, turning as needed, until grill marks form and the veggies have softened, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Using a fork, push the hot vegetables off the skewers onto a serving platter. Drizzle over the lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss to combine. Sprinkle over the crumbled feta and lemon zest. Top with the oregano, mint and parsley. The salad can be served warm or chilled.

TOASTED ISRAELI COUSCOUS SALAD WITH GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and garlic, slowly add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 the marinade over the vegetables and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Preheat the grill. Remove the vegetables from the marinade and grill the vegetables until just cooked through. Cut the zucchini and peppers into 1/2-inch pieces, cut the tomatoes in half. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, add the couscous and toast until lightly golden brown. Cover the couscous with the hot stock plus hot water and bring to a boil, cook until al dente and drain well. Place in a large serving bowl, add the grilled vegetables and herbs and toss with the remaining vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature.
