Grilled Vegetable Salad With Oregano Dressing Food

BIG GRILLED VEGGIE SALAD

Steps:

• Thread the mushrooms, zucchini, squash, orange bell pepper, green bell pepper and onions onto separate skewers.
• Mix the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the kebabs all over with the oil mix.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When it is hot, grill the kebabs, turning as needed, until grill marks form and the veggies have softened, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Using a fork, push the hot vegetables off the skewers onto a serving platter. Drizzle over the lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss to combine. Sprinkle over the crumbled feta and lemon zest. Top with the oregano, mint and parsley. The salad can be served warm or chilled.

GRILLED VEGGIE AND ORZO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup of the olive oil to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then add all the prepped vegetables. Toss the vegetables to coat them in the marinade.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated, add the vegetables in batches, being sure to keep them in a single layer and not to overcrowd the pan. Grill until the vegetables have nice char marks and are beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the vegetables and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet. Keep grilling until all the vegetables are cooked. Cool slightly, then cut the vegetables into small bite size pieces. Save any leftover marinade to build the dressing for the salad.
• To the serving bowl with the leftover marinade from the vegetables, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Whisk to combine. Add the cooked orzo and the chopped grilled vegetables and toss to combine. Add the feta, parsley and dill and toss again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve immediately or keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
