Grilled scallions are not only a tasty side dish but also a flavorful addition to grilled meats or fish. The caramelized sugars in the charred scallions create a sweet and smoky flavor. The simple vinaigrette dressing adds a bright and tangy contrast to the rich scallions. Experiment with different types of vinegars and oils to create a vinaigrette that suits your taste. Grilled scallions can be served warm, at room temperature, or even chilled. They are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.

BROCCOLI AND SCALLIONS WITH THAI-STYLE VINAIGRETTE
Roasting gives broccoli an incredible texture and crunch, and it softens and sweetens the bite of the scallions. This is paired with a highly addictive vinaigrette that is a play on the classic Thai dipping sauce prik nam pla. If you're lucky enough to find yourself with leftovers, spoon it over roast fish, chicken or even plain white rice.
