Looking for a healthy and flavorful salad recipe that's perfect for summer? Try this Grilled Vegetable Salad with Basil Vinaigrette. This salad is packed with fresh veggies and topped with a tangy homemade dressing that's sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
- 1 zucchini, sliced diagonally
- 1 yellow squash, sliced diagonally
- 1 red onion, sliced into rounds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups mixed greens
First, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill heats up, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Once the grill is hot, place the vegetables on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks.
Remove the vegetables from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, arrange the mixed greens on a large platter and top with the grilled vegetables.
Basil Vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
To make the basil vinaigrette, combine the basil leaves, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined.
With the blender or food processor still running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Continue blending until the vinaigrette is smooth and creamy. Finally, drizzle the basil vinaigrette over the grilled vegetable salad and serve immediately. Enjoy!
