As this recipe proves, barbecue isn't just about the meat. Veggies taste even better when they're grilled. Add some crumbled Maytag blue cheese and a bright dressing for a meal that even a carnivore could love. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
9 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing |
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (such as maytag; about 2 ounces) |
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise |
2 bell peppers (preferably in assorted colors), seeded, quartered lengthwise |
1 pound red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices |
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, cut through core into 8 wedges |
8 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed |
10 baby beets (about 11/2 inches in diameter), trimmed, scrubbed, halved crosswise |
1 large red onion, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices |
1 5-ounce package mixed baby greens |
Directions:
1. Whisk vinegar, Dijon mustard, and 5 tablespoons oil in small bowl. Stir in cheese. Season dressing with salt and generous amount of pepper.
2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat); brush grill with oil. Place all vegetables except beets, onion, and baby greens in large bowl; drizzle with remaining 4 tablespoons oil and toss to coat. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Place beets in same bowl; toss to coat with any remaining oil in bowl and transfer to baking sheet. Sprinkle vegetables with salt and pepper. Brush onion slices with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill vegetables until slightly charred and tender, about 12 minutes for beets, potatoes, and fennel, turning occasionally, and about 4 minutes per side for zucchini, peppers, onion slices, and mushrooms.
3. Mound greens in center of 4 plates. Scatter onion slices over greens. Arrange vegetables around greens. Drizzle dressing over and serve.
