A Light Salad for Lunch time... Grilled Vegetables Salad
Saturday, March 6, 2010 by
Gordy Attard After many of you asked me to put up some Healthy Recipes that can be eaten during their Lunch Break, I made up this Simple, Quick & Healthy Recipe so you can easily prepare and later eat at work.
This Light Salad is really quick to prepare and even you don't have a mess to clean up afterwards. This because you only need a grill pan and a mixing bowl plus the obvious chopping board. You can marinate your veggies few hours prior to grill or you can just marinate them until you have your grill hot and ready to be used.
For this Salad I used vegetables found freshly in every market but other substitutes like aubergines, onions, peppers and leeks can also be used.
Grilled Vegetables Salad
Ingredients
2 courgettes, cut into round slices
4 mushrooms caps
2 tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
few parmessan shavings
extra virgin olive oil
1/2 romaine lettuce
pinch of tarragon herb
salt & pepper






Method
- In a mixing bowl marinate the courgettes, mushroom caps and the tomatoes in 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tsp of Tarragon herb & salt & pepper.
- Heat up the grill pan and start off to grill all your vegetables. They should take approximately same cooking time about 2/3 mins on each side.
- After you wash and dry your romaine lettuce, break it into small pieces with your hands and place it as your base for the salad.
- Plate your grilled vegetables onto the salad leafs and in the end add some parmessan shavings. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar can be added to give a sharp taste to this light salad.

- When you have to cut and then wash your Lettuce always use your hands as when you use a knife your lettuce leafs will turn brown after some hours
- Make sure you dry well your lettuce with a help of a salad spinner your lettuce or other salad leafs can long for 3 days in a tip top condition.
- Make sure your grill is hot when you place your vegetables to obtain a great result. If the grill is not hot you'll going to have a boiled vegetables and without that beautiful grill marks.
