Grilled Veggie Salad With Goat Cheese And White Truffle Oil

  1. Clean the veggies and prep for the grill. The mushrooms I grill whole in a veggie basket so after wiping them off I drizzle with olive oil and the add pepper and seasoning salt (I have an obsession with Adobo Salt from Goya it's a jazzed up garlic salt) and they are ready to hit the grill.
  2. The onions I slice into large rings so they are easy to flip on the grill and give them the same olive oil and spice treatment as the mushrooms. Same prep for the yellow squash. You could substitute or add any almost any veggie to your grill mix: eggplant, baby artichokes, or green onions, be creative.
  3. On the hot grill the onion and squash will go pretty quick so keep an eye on them, time will depend on how thick you cut them. The mushrooms will need to roast until they release their water and darken up. So about 6 minutes.
  4. Set the grilled veggies aside and allow them to cool so you can slice into bite sized pieces. You can grill and prep the veggies hours or days before you plan to serve this salad. I normally will grill extra veggies one night with the plan of making this salad the next.
  5. Next you will need to build the roasted tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds and arrange on a sprayed baking sheet. Salt and pepper both sides and then put a dot of green sauce on each tomato. Next add a dollop of the goat cheese.
  6. You can grill these, cheese side up, if you have a steady hand and lighting quick moves on the grill, but I often just pop the sheet tray in a toaster or regular oven. Using the oven is especially nice if you have pre made the other veggies and don't want to pull out the grill just for the tomatoes. Cook in the oven at 400 for 6 minutes until tomatoes soften and the cheese browns slightly.
  7. Place the cleaned lettuce in a large bowl and toss lightly with half the lemon juice, truffle oil, basil, and salt and pepper. Taste the lettuce and adjust spicing until the salad has a good flavor.
  8. Use the remaining lemon juice on the grilled veggies, also taste each of them and adjust spices as needed. Artfully arrange the grilled veggies and tomatoes on top the greens and serve.
