    Grilled Vegetable Salad Recipe

    Romaine wedge with grilled vegetables over a tray of raw sliced vegetables.

    Enjoy this grilled vegetable salad recipe as a healthy lunch or dinner option with your favorite veggies or anything that's fresh and in season. Eat them alone, on a bed of spring greens or a wedge of romaine topped with goat cheese and your favorite dressing.

    Grilled vegetable salad with goat cheese on a wedge of romaine lettuce.

    Farmers market season is underway so even if you don't have your own backyard veggie garden, you can get your hands on delicious fresh produce. These days you can get just about everything in the grocery store but buying vegetables in season is often even better. The produce is fresher and often you'll be able to find things that are unique and fun to try.

    Making a Grilled Vegetable Salad

    Clean and chop your vegetables in manageable sizes for the grill. Toss with olive oil and give them a good dash of salt and pepper.

    Use a large tray to transport the goods from the house to the grill and back.

    Red onion, sweet orange pepper, summer squash, corn on the cob, zucchini and plum tomatoes on the grill.

    Make sure that the grill is nice and hot, then lay out the veggies. Some will require more time than others and that really depends on what you are cooking. A good rule of thumb is about 5 minutes on each side. Once you have flipped them you can also give them a little poke with your tongs and see if they are softened enough to remove.

    With this group, the corn is the one that needs to be rotated a few times. I do love the taste of grilled corn. I've used it in a Mexican Street Corn Salad and a great Black Bean Salad too.

    Bowl of chopped up grilled vegetables.

    Chop up the grilled veggies into bite sized pieces and mix them together in a bowl. I also added a good pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat but that's optional.

    Spread the grilled vegetables over a wedge of romaine and top with some fresh creamy goat cheese. You could also use feta or any of your favorite cheeses.

    Now, at this point, you can dig right in, or you can add a drizzle of your favorite salad dressing. For me, I don't need it but I know many people would love a little dressing as part of this salad so it's up to you.

    Salad Dressing Ideas (if you must)

    • Herbal Balsamic Vinaigrette
    • Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
    • Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
    • Spicy Balsamic Vinaigrette

    One last thing. If you have more grilled vegetables than you can eat consider tossing them with a nice short pasta for dinner. Add a little of the pasta cooking water to the bowl to create a little sauce and you're good to go.
