Grilled Marinated Vegetable Salad Recipes

INCREDIBLE BBQ GRILLED VEGETABLES - MARINATED!

Steps:

• Place ingredients in a jar and shake well. Set aside 10 minutes+.
• Keep pieces large for easy handling on the BBQ (so you don't have to turn hundreds of pieces!) and so they don't fall through the grills.
• Capsicum/bell peppers - cut the "walls" off, then cut each each on the diagonal into fairly large pieces.
• Onion (Note 4) - keep the root end (hairy end!) in tact. Peel, cut in half, then cut into wedges through the root end.
• Brush BBQ grills lightly with oil, then preheat to high. Or oven 250°C/480°F.
• Place vegetables in a very large bowl or use a big tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. Toss with hands (there is no better way!).
• Place on BBQ and cook until tender crisp with charred edges - cook times below. Then remove into large bowl.
• Asparagus, zucchini - grill 2 min each side. (Oven - 10 min, no flipping)
• Capsicum, mushroom, onion - grill 3 min each side (oven 15 min, flip at 10 min)
• Eggplant - grill 4 min each side. Jab in middle to ensure soft but not soggy! (oven 18 min)
• While vegetables are still hot, drizzle over Dressing and toss.
• Set aside 10 minutes+ before serving, sprinkled with parsley. See in post for serving ideas.

GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter. Sprinkle with basil and feta.

GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they've been placed on the hot grill.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature.

MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn one of the end burners off before cooking.
• While the grill is heating, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup oil, vinegar, mustard and shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the vegetables into pieces that are large enough so as to not slip through the grates; for small or slender vegetables, like snap peas or green beans, leave them whole. Pat the vegetables dry, then transfer to a sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with enough olive oil to coat.
• When you're ready to grill, take the marinade, vegetables, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the vegetables over the flame, flipping occasionally, until well browned and tender, 2 to 15 minutes, depending on the density and size of the vegetables. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) As the vegetables finish, transfer them to the marinade. Let the vegetables sit in the marinade for at least 5 minutes. Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before serving.
