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

  1. Brush each side of the vegetables lightly with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the vegetables to a dish or shallow pan.
  4. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of the olive oil with the vinegar, chopped basil and lemon juice, in a small bowl.
  5. Pour the marinade over the vegetables and chill for 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  6. 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.

Serves 4
Preparation time about 30 minutes plus marinating
