This simple concept for a salad is going to be at its best with whatever veggies are in season and fresh. It's the perfect side for a grilling day, but if you're not grilling, you can make it on the stovetop just as easily.
Tip: If you have a grill pan, this is the perfect recipe to use it to impart grill marks to your veggies.
Directions
- Preheat a cast iron pan on your grill on high.
- In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, pepper, and salt. Place the vegetables in pan. Cook until tender, stirring halfway through (2-4 minutes).
- Remove the vegetables to the bowl. Cover with foil to let carryover heat continue the cooking (5 minutes). Remove foil and let come down to room temperature (20 minutes).
- While vegetables cool, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients.
- When vegetables are at room temperature, toss them with the vinaigrette to serve.
Chef's Practical Notes
Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
