Cpk's Grilled Vegetable Salad - My Version image

I had this salad at California Pizza Kitchen in Charlotte NC, and it blew me away! I couldn't find a recipe for it, so here's my attempt at recreating it. I used the ingredient list in their menu (and photo) for inspiration. It can be served without chicken or steak for vegetarian for a very satisfying salad. Posted for safekeeping. Servings are estimated.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 bunch fresh asparagus, cut in 2-inch lengths
1/4 eggplant, cut in 1/2 slices
1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 green onion
2 ears corn, kernels removed or 1/2 lb frozen corn
1/2 head romaine lettuce or 1/2 head red leaf lettuce, chopped
1 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and soaked and drained
1 -2 boneless chicken breasts, seasoned and grilled (optional) or 1 steak, seasoned and seared (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Grill asparagus, eggplant, zucchini, corn, and meat as desired.
  • Suggestion: I put the olive oil in a 9x12 pyrex dish and added the vegs (but for the sake of presentation don't mix together), roasting them under the broiler.
  • Put a bed of lettuce on plate,
  • On top of that,mound each grilled veg separately around the edges.
  • Top with sliced meat, if using.
  • add chopped green onion and avo.
  • Dress with dijon balsamic dressing (I used a recipe from this site).
  • It makes a beautiful presentation when vegs are separate on the plate, then tossed to eat.
