Who wants a boring green salad when you can pick up all of the best vegetables of summer and make an amazing salad to enjoy? Grilled vegetables are so delicious. They’re downright addicting. We make them so much in the summer because they pair so well with grilled meats. Gathering them all into a salad is a nice idea. This Grilled Vegetable Salad is tossed with a very light dressing and combined with some fresh herbs.

Ingredients needed for this recipe:

eggplant cherry tomatoes red bell peppers onion olive oil white wine vinegar sugar garlic, salt, pepper basil and chives

How to make Grilled Vegetable Salad:

You’ll toss eggplant slices, red bell pepper, onion and tomatoes with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Then you’ll grill everything. The eggplant, red bell pepper and onion can go directly on the grill. The tomatoes should be grilled in a grill basket.

Aren’t grilled vegetables gorgeous?

Substitution suggestions:

If you don’t care for one or more of the vegetables in this recipe, consider making some substitutions. Try using portobello mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, broccolini or green beans. Those would all be great additions or substitutions in this grilled vegetable salad!

The next step in assembling this salad is slicing the grilled red bell peppers and then move all of the grilled veggies to a serving platter. A simple dressing of white wine vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt/pepper is drizzled over the veggies. A quick toss and a sprinkle of fresh basil and chives finishes it off. You might have noticed that olives magically appeared in the salad. The addition of olives is completely optional. Use pitted olives, if you choose to include them.

Grilled Vegetable Salad is the perfect summer side dish to serve with grilled meats. It’s also a beautiful vegetarian dinner to have with a hunk of French bread and a glass of white wine. Enjoy!
