MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• Stir olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, rosemary, and oregano together in a bowl.
• Place mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion in a deep grill-safe pan and brush with the oil mixture.
• Place the pan on the preheated grill and cook until tender, turning once, 10 to 15 minutes.

ROASTED GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Mix together the olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic in a small mason jar. Set aside.
• Place the cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and feta on a sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil mixture and toss. Add the lemon halves to the pan and roast until the vegetables and feta have browned, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow them to cool, about 20 minutes.
• To assemble, toss the roasted tomatoes, bell pepper and feta together with the cucumbers, olives and red onion, then place on a platter.
• Add the juice from the roasted lemons to the remaining olive oil mixture in the mason jar. Secure the lid and shake until combined. Drizzle the salad with half of the dressing. Arrange dill leaves over the top and serve with the remaining dressing on the side.

GRILLED GREEK VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano; set aside.
• Cut vegetables into chunks. Toss vegetables with garlic oil to coat.

• Place vegetables in a single layer or on a grilling rack in a covered grill over medium heat. Turn once and baste with any remaining oil. Remove vegetables as they become done and keep warm.

GREEK GRILLED SALMON WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Put the zucchini, bell peppers and asparagus in a large bowl and toss with a scant 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and scant 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, making sure everything is nice and coated. Transfer the coated veggies to the grill. Add the onions directly to the grill and give them a good brush with the vinaigrette and olive oil mixture. Grill, turning the veggies every 2 minutes, until tender and well-marked, about 8 minutes. Remove to a serving platter.
• Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette for serving, then brush the salmon on each side with 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining vinaigrette; drizzle on both sides with the remaining olive oil. Grill the salmon for 2 minutes, then rotate 45 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes. After 4 minutes total, flip the salmon and grill on the other side for 2 minutes, then rotate and cook for 2 minutes more. Brush with some of the remaining vinaigrette while cooking if needed.
• Transfer the salmon to the serving platter with the vegetables. Drizzle everything with the reserved vinaigrette. Sprinkle over the feta, olives, and parsley. Serve immediately.

GREEK STYLE GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the yellow squash, zucchini, tomato, olives and onion on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 17 inches x 18 in.). Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic salt, oregano and pepper; pour over vegetables. Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.
• Grill, covered, over medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
• Transfer vegetables to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with cheese.

MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn one of the end burners off before cooking.
• While the grill is heating, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup oil, vinegar, mustard and shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the vegetables into pieces that are large enough so as to not slip through the grates; for small or slender vegetables, like snap peas or green beans, leave them whole. Pat the vegetables dry, then transfer to a sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with enough olive oil to coat.
• When you're ready to grill, take the marinade, vegetables, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the vegetables over the flame, flipping occasionally, until well browned and tender, 2 to 15 minutes, depending on the density and size of the vegetables. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) As the vegetables finish, transfer them to the marinade. Let the vegetables sit in the marinade for at least 5 minutes. Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before serving.
