Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal fire in a grill. Let coals cool to medium heat (coals should be covered with ash and glowing red with no black remaining).
- Grill beets directly on coals, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and flesh is fork-tender, 35-45 minutes. (Alternatively, grill, covered, on the grate of a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 45-55 minutes.) Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let steam until cool enough to handle.
- Wearing gloves if you don't want pink hands, pull charred skins off beets (they should slip off easily), then slice each beet into 6 wedges. Transfer to a large bowl, add vinegar, kosher salt, and 3 Tbsp. oil, and toss to combine.
- Arrange beet mixture on a platter. Top with burrata, cherries, and olives. Drizzle with oil; season with sea salt and pepper.
- Do Ahead: Beets can be grilled 2 days ahead. Let cool (do not peel); cover and chill.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium high heat; thoroughly clean grates and brush with oil. Grill whole, unpeeled beets, covered, turning every 10 minutes, until tender and a skewer or cake tester can easily slide into the center, 40-50 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap and let steam for 30 minutes. Using a paper towel, rub beet to remove skin (it should slip off easily, wear gloves to avoid staining your hands). Trim root end and cut beets into wedges.
- Meanwhile, grill oranges and lemons, turning once, until fruit is caramelized and peel is charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Toss beets with a squeeze of the grilled citrus, a drizzle of olive oil, some flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Top with mint, chives and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:
- Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- Trim the bottom inch off of the broccoli stems and discard or save in your freezer for a soup. Quarter the broccoli lengthwise into large pieces and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Place the broccoli on the direct heat side of the grill and char on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Move to the indirect side of the grill, close the grill lid and roast until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, scallions, vinegar, dill, brown sugar and mustard. Season to taste with the fresh nutmeg, salt and pepper. Remove the broccoli to a serving platter and drizzle with as much of the buttermilk dressing as you'd like. Top with the dried cherries and peanuts. Serve!

- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
