Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
One 15 1/2-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup pitted black olives, such as Niçoise, coarsely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, sides removed in 4 planks
1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), cut on the bias into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 medium yellow squash (about 8 ounces), cut on the bias into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 small Italian eggplant (about 8 ounces), sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 medium red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, finely chopped
Eight 1/2-inch-thick slices baguette
6 ounces goat cheese, cut into 4 rounds
8 cups loosely packed mixed baby greens

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat.
  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper together in a large serving bowl. Whisk in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Remove about 2 tablespoons of the dressing to a small bowl. Add the beans and olives to the serving bowl and toss well. Let marinate while you grill the vegetables.
  • Spread the peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant and onion on a baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir the rosemary into the dressing in the small bowl and brush on the vegetables. Grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until charred on both sides and just tender, 8 to 9 minutes for the onions, 7 to 8 minutes for the eggplant and peppers and 5 to 6 minutes for the zucchini and yellow squash.
  • Transfer the vegetables as they're cooked to a cutting board. Cut the peppers into thick strips. If the eggplant slices are large, cut them in half. Separate the onion into individual rings.
  • Grill the baguette slices, turning occasionally, until crisp on the edges and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill and lightly brush with olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and black pepper. While the baguette grills, place the goat cheese rounds on a piece of foil and warm them on the grill just until the cheese begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the grilled vegetables and mixed greens to the serving bowl and toss to combine. Arrange the baguette toasts around the bowl in pairs and top each pair with a round of warmed goat cheese.

  • Burrata Salad. Creamy burrata cheese, juicy grilled nectarines, and an herbaceous pesto dressing add up to heaven on a plate. Serve this stunning, easy-to-assemble salad for summer brunches, plating it with eggs and toast.
  • Green Salad With Scallion Mustard Vinaigrette. Consider this your go-to tossed green salad for summer dinner parties. Dressed in an elegant scallion vinaigrette with brown mustard, it's an excellent way to wake up the palate before a meal without filling you up too much.
  • Avocado, Tomato, and Mozzarella Caprese Salad. Avocados add extra creaminess to a caprese salad of fresh mozzarella cheese, aromatic basil leaves, and ripe red tomatoes.
  • Loaded Chickpea Tabbouleh. Serve easy tabbouleh salad with falafel, pita bread, and a pitcher of mint-infused lemonade for a fabulous Middle-Eastern inspired patio lunch this summer.
  • Shrimp Avocado Salad. Pretty, citrusy, and ready in a flash, this light, refreshing shrimp and avocado salad is everything you want in a summer starter.
  • Carolina Slaw. What would summer barbecues be without at least one giant bowl of crunchy coleslaw? Southern-style Carolina slaw is vinegar-based, so you don't have to fuss over it spoiling on warmer days.
  • Chopped Salad With Ham and Balsamic Vinaigrette. A hearty chopped salad with ham is a good meal choice for hot summer days and evenings when you don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen.
  • California Grilled Chicken Salad. California chicken salad makes a fantastic brown bag lunch option or a weekend brunch salad when guests are expected. Marinating the chicken in the same dressing you use on greens keeps it nice and juicy when grilled and gives it a consistent flavor.
  • Cold 5-Spice Zucchini and Chicken Noodle Salad. Spiralized zucchini "noodles" have a satisfying texture that's similar to pasta, without all the calories and carbs.
  • Grilled Watermelon Salad with Mint. Watermelon and cookouts are made for each other. Grilling the fruit adds a smoky dimension that beautifully complements flame-roasted meats, but this maple and mint-infused salad also makes an easy, refreshing side dish for grilled fish.

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and membranes, and place on the baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper and bake 10 minutes. Tip out and discard any liquid that pools inside the peppers. Set the peppers aside.
  • Make the filling. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, jalapeños, scallions, lime zest, lime juice, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, and cilantro. Fold in the rice, black beans, and corn.
  • Scoop the filling into the pepper halves and top them with the cheese. Broil for 2 to 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and browned. Alternatively, continue baking at 450°F for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve with the avocado slices, lime wedges, and extra jalapenos, if desired.

  • Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts With Crunchy Radish Salad. This fast technique brings out the best (a.k.a. the juiciness) in boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Kisir (Spicy Bulgur Salad in Lettuce Cups) In this dish from southeastern Turkey, chewy, nutty bulgur meets sour-sweet pomegranate molasses meets spicy Aleppo-style pepper meets crunchy-cool lettuce cups.
  • Smashed Cucumber Salad with Za'atar and Feta. Magic happens when toasted garlic oil meets fragrant za’atar. But if you don’t have za’atar on hand, dried mint is equally delicious infused into hot oil.
