GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH TAHINI DRESSING



Grilled Summer Vegetables With Tahini Dressing image

Start up the grill for a crowd-pleasing platter of vegetables from the garden or farm stand. Take care to keep the fire medium-hot, so you can cook the vegetables without letting them become scorched or blackened. A bit of char is nice, of course, but don't try for perfect grill marks. Remove vegetables from the grill when they are just done. They're topped with a garlicky, lemony tahini dressing that serves as a perfect accompaniment.

Categories     vegetables, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup tahini, at room temperature and well stirred
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of ground cayenne
2 garlic cloves, grated or pounded to a paste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup plain yogurt (not Greek-style yogurt)
Kosher salt
2 medium red onions, peeled
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 ripe red bell peppers or other peppers, such as Corno di Toro
2 pounds zucchini, yellow summer squash, pattypans or a combination
2 medium eggplants (or 4 small Japanese eggplants)
4 small tomatoes
Paprika or pimentón, for garnish (optional)
Chopped mint, dill, parsley and cilantro, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the tahini dressing: Put tahini, lemon juice, cayenne and garlic in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in olive oil, yogurt and a good pinch of salt.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, or a stovetop grill pan. Heat should be medium-high. Make sure grill racks are clean.
  • Cut onions crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove stems and seeds, and discard. Cut each half in two, making eight pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  • Cut zucchini and eggplant lengthwise or at an angle into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush slices with olive oil on both sides, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  • Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.

WARM BLUE CHEESE VINAIGRETTE WITH FRESH MIXED GREENS



Warm Blue Cheese Vinaigrette With Fresh Mixed Greens image

Now everyone has had a blue cheese dressing ... everyone has had a blue cheese vinaigrette ... everyone has had their classic salad. Well my version ... this is a simple quick and classic taste, but just a bit different. A warm vinaigrette. Fresh greens (I prefer a mix of spinach and romaine, but you can use your favorite. Don't worry, it works with any good greens.) Dole has a great European blend of Endive, Romaine, Iceberg, Spinach and Radicchio which I love. Then some sauteed onions and fresh tomatoes. A crunchy topping and you are set.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 ounces salad greens (your favorite mix of salad greens. One bag of Dole is 10 oz which is about the right amount)
1 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half (I use a few more, but I like tomatoes)
1/2 cup black olives, cut in half
1 1/4 cups onions (1 large onion cut in half and thin sliced)
1 cup garlic cheese crouton (just store bought is fine, crunched up in a baggie and used as my topping over the warm vinaigrette)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup blue cheese (or you can use gorgonzola)
1 cup vegetables or 1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3 teaspoons white wine
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated shallot
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (you can more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Onions -- In a small saute pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, saute the onion just 4-5 minutes until lightly brown but not carmalized. Just lightly sauteed. Add the olives and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and put in a large salad bowl along with the halved grape tomatoes.
  • Make the dressing -- In that same saute pan, take 1 teaspoon from the vegetable or canola oil and heat on medium. Then add the garlic, shallot and cook just until slightly soft, 1 minute is all you need. Add the white wine, dijon mustard, vinegar, olive oil and seasoning and mix well, cook just another minute until it all comes together. Remove from the heat while you but put the salad together. The blue in the dressing will be added right at the end.
  • Topping -- Add store bought croutons to a baggie and crunch up. Just hit it with a bowl, pot, meat mallet anything to crunch them up. Not too fine, just a bit. Can't get much easier.
  • Greens -- Take your favorite greens and chop. Add to the bowl with the onions, tomato and olives.
  • Dressing -- Add the pan with the vinaigrette back to the heat and just cook another minute to warm up, add the blue cheese crumbles and stir. Pour the warm vinaigrette over the salad and toss. Plate the warm salad and top with the crumbled croutons.
  • Enjoy a very unique version of a classic salad.

MIXED GREENS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Mixed Greens with Blue Cheese Dressing image

I like to make this dish with whatever greens are in season. In spring, I use tender young greens from my garden, including spinach and Bibb lettuce.
