Marinated Grilled Vegetables with Feta Cheese
These savory roasted vegetables take the place of a tossed salad on a buffet table. Make enough to serve as a treat for lunch the next day. Easily prepared in advance, the dish can be served chilled or at room temperature.
1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
2 large zucchini, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
4 yellow squash, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
2 large tomatoes, sliced into 1/2 inch slices
1 medium red onion, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
Juice of 1/2 medium lemon, about 1 tablespoon
4 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled
- Brush each side of the vegetables lightly with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Grill both sides over medium high heat using a grill pan or the outdoor grill. The vegetables will soften and begin to blacken very quickly. Be careful not to overcook or they will fall apart.
- Remove the vegetables to a dish or shallow pan.
- Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of the olive oil with the vinegar, chopped basil and lemon juice, in a small bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the vegetables and chill for 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Remove the vegetables from the marinade and arrange each slice on a platter. Sprinkle the crumbled Feta cheese over all and season with freshly ground pepper.
