Best 5 Angelas Grilled Vegetable Salad Recipes

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.
• In a small bowl, mix garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over vegetables.

GRILLED VEGGIE AND ORZO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup of the olive oil to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then add all the prepped vegetables. Toss the vegetables to coat them in the marinade.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated, add the vegetables in batches, being sure to keep them in a single layer and not to overcrowd the pan. Grill until the vegetables have nice char marks and are beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the vegetables and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet. Keep grilling until all the vegetables are cooked. Cool slightly, then cut the vegetables into small bite size pieces. Save any leftover marinade to build the dressing for the salad.
• To the serving bowl with the leftover marinade from the vegetables, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Whisk to combine. Add the cooked orzo and the chopped grilled vegetables and toss to combine. Add the feta, parsley and dill and toss again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately or keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

GRILLED MIXED-VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan. Wash greens, and let excess water drain off. Place in a plastic bag lined with paper towels until ready to use.
• Cut vegetables into sizes that are manageable for the grill. For example, slice yellow squash and eggplant in half lengthwise, leaving small zucchini whole; cut bell peppers into quarters, and discard ribs and seeds; cut corn cobs in half crosswise; slice radicchio into wedges; and leave bunches of cherry tomatoes attached to the vine. Brush vegetables with olive oil, and grill until cooked through, turning as needed.
• While vegetables are cooking, transfer greens to a large serving dish. Vegetables will cook at different times, so as they are done, remove them from the grill and cut into smaller pieces. Add them to the bowl of greens, tossing well. The heat of the grilled vegetables will wilt the greens slightly. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

ANGELA'S GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut veggies, excluding artichoke hearts, into large chunks and place in a pan. Toss with a light coat of olive oil, plenty of freshly ground black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Let it marinate for one hour. Fire up your grill (she uses her Foreman grill) and get those veggies grillin'! You still want them to be somewhat firm because they'll still continue to cook a little when you take them off the grill, so you don't them to turn mushy. Place onto a large plastic dish (avoid metal or glass - tends to keep the cooking process going.) Chill in the refrigerator for one hour until completely cooled down.
• Once the veggies are cold, cut them up into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl. Cut up the artichoke hearts into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
• For the dressing, chop up the garlic and put in a small bowl (a garlic press may make that easy) and put in a small bowl. Measure out lemon juice and mustard and whisk lightly. Add balsamic vinegar (about 1/2 cup, maybe less) and whisk. Slowly begin drizzling olive oil into the bowl as you whisk. Add fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.
• Pour dressing (to taste) over veggies and toss lightly. Add the cheese and pine nuts and toss again. Chill for about 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!
