No ratings yet
During the summer months we love using our grill to cook just about everything! Grilled vegetables are a favorite healthy side dish. The smoky flavor that grilling imparts on to our favorite vegetables can't be beat. So, we decided to cut the grilled veggies we love into bite-sized pieces and toss it with a creamy avocado dressing, and the results deserve a 5-star rating!

  • 12 oz. Cherry tomatoes sliced in ½
  • 8 oz. Heirloom tomato sliced
  • 4 oz. Pumpkin seeds shelled, roasted, and salted
  • cup Olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Olive oil for grilling the zucchini & corn
  • 2 Tbsp. Chives or green onions sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • 3-4 oz. Creamy avocado dressing or your favorite salad dressing
  • Nonstick pan spray as needed for grilling

Equipment

  • 2 Large Bowl
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Chef Knife
  • 1 Grill or grill pan
  • 1 Kitchen Scale
  • 1 Measuring Spoon Set
  • 1 Measuring cup set

Method
 

  1. Shuck the corn on the cob and slice the zucchini length wise in ¼ strips.
  2. Heat your grill to about 400℉ and brush the grill grates making certain they are clean. Spray the cleaned grill grates with nonstick pan spray.
  3. Place the corn cobs and sliced zucchini into a large bowl and season with 2 Tbsps. olive oil and ½ of the sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Place the corn cobs on the heated grill along with the sliced zucchini. Place the zucchini at an angle in order to create grill marks.
  5. Grill the vegetables on all sides until the corn is golden brown and the zucchini has grill marks and is tender but not mushy. Remove the vegetables and set aside to cool.
  6. Place the sliced cherry tomatoes and the pumpkin seeds into a large bowl.
  7. When the zucchini cools off cut it into bite-sized pieces. Stand the corn cob on its end and using a sharp chef's knife carefully cut downwards to remove the corn from the cob.
  8. Place the corn kernels and the cut zucchini into the bowl containing the cherry tomatoes and the pumpkin seeds. Add the ⅛ cup of olive oil, the remaining sea salt, black pepper, the chives (or green onion) and the creamy avocado dressing (or your favorite salad dressing).
  9. Slice the heirloom tomato and arrange the slices on a serving platter or large plate. Using a large spoon mix the salad ingredients in the large bowl until coated evenly.
  10. Spoon the grilled veggie salad on to the sliced heirloom tomatoes and enjoy!
