Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 large Red bell peppers
- 4 caps Portobello mushrooms
- 1 large Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the zucchini, red bell peppers, Portobello mushrooms, and red onion. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips, the red bell peppers into quarters (seeds removed), and the red onion into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Keep the Portobello mushroom caps whole.
Brush all the vegetables lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Grill the vegetables directly on the grill grates. Cook the zucchini for 3-4 minutes per side, the bell peppers for 4-5 minutes per side, the onion rounds for 3-4 minutes per side, and the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes per side, until they have grill marks and are tender.
Remove the vegetables from the grill and set aside to cool slightly. Once cool, chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens and grilled vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and drizzle with the balsamic dressing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
