GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLE PANZANELLA

Grilled Summer Vegetable Panzanella image

This grilled vegetable salad is filled with summer zucchini and eggplant that are marinated in an herby dressing. Crusty country-style bread helps soak up the flavors. The optional feta cheese adds a briny finishing note. To keep sodium in check, reduce the amount of salt in the salad if you opt to use the feta.

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini (1 pound), cut into thirds lengthwise
1 medium eggplant (1 pound), cut into 1-inch-thick rounds
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch-thick rounds
8 ounces crusty country-style bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 medium clove garlic, grated
½ cup chopped herbs, such as parsley or basil, plus more for garnish
¼ cup crumbled feta (optional)

Steps:

Preheat grill to medium.
Brush both sides of zucchini, eggplant, onion and bread with 3 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle the vegetables with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables, turning once, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill the bread until lightly charred in spots, about 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, garlic and the remaining 4 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. When the vegetables and bread are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-size pieces and add to the bowl along with the herbs. Toss to coat well. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Top with crumbled feta, if using, and more chopped herbs, if desired.

This is a hearty but bright salad using the colors and flavors of the summer season from Lindsey S. Love of Dolly and Oatmeal.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 large shallot, sliced thin
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
½ teaspoon fine sea salt and fresh pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 clove garlic
4 slices hearty bread
2 peaches, sliced into wedges
2 cups baby arugula
1 cup torn basil leaves
1 large fennel bulb, halved, cored and thinly shaved on a mandoline
Reynolds Wrap® Non Stick Aluminum Foil

Steps:

Cut a large piece of Reynolds Wrap® Non Stick Aluminum Foil and firmly fit it over the grill grate. Heat the grill to medium heat.
While the grill is heating, make the dressing. To a shallow bowl, add the shallot, vinegar, maple syrup, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture sit until the shallots are tender, about 10 minutes. Add 4 tablespoons of the oil and whisk until the dressing is mixed and blended. Set aside.
Cut the garlic clove in half. Gently rub both sides of each slice of bread with the cut side of the garlic. Using 1 tablespoon of oil, lightly brush each side of the bread.
Place the bread on the hot grill and cook until toasted and firm, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the bread and let cool.
Brush the peaches with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt. Place the peaches on the foil-covered grill and cook until lightly browned but firm, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large serving bowl, toss together the arugula and basil. Tear the bread into large chunks and add to the bowl. Add the peaches and fennel. Mix in the dressing and give everything a thorough toss.
