The garden veggies |
I was bringing a salad to family party but I wanted more than the basics of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I fired up the grill and prepped red, yellow and orange peppers and some yellow and green squash with a light coating of olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper. I also grilled a few ears of shucked corn. I grilled everything until it had nice grill marks on all sides.
Meanwhile, I washed and tore three kinds of lettuce (Salad Bowl, Boston, Green Leaf) onto a huge platter. I added sliced cucumbers-I like pickling cukes in the summer because they don't have many seeds and they have a fresh taste and smell. I sliced a 1/2 a Vidalia onion and added it to the greens.

Here is the finished salad!! For dressing, I made a simple vinaigrette with wine vinegar, olive oil, crushed garlic clove, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
A salad that's ready to party! |
