Grilled Zucchini Fig Salad With A Yogurt Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine zucchini and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add salt and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to a grill wok or open grill basket; place on grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium-high heat until zucchini is crisp-tender, 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer zucchini to a serving bowl; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and red onion. When cooled slightly, sprinkle with mint, parsley, lemon juice and zest and feta cheese. Stir gently. Sprinkle with pine nuts before serving.

Steps:

• Heat griddle pan (or grill) to medium heat. Brush zucchini slices with olive oil on both sides and grill for 3 minutes on each side until charred with stripes.
• Brush the fig quarters with olive oil and grill for 3 minutes in total, turning once.
• To make the dressing: whisk the yogurt, sugar and some salt & pepper in a bowl and thin it to drizzling consistency with the milk. Stir in the sliced spring onion.
• Shortly before serving, toss the spinach with enough olive oi to coat it and season with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mix the spinach leaves into the zucchini slices and figs on a large serving plate. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with chopped mint.

Steps:

• Snip the tiny stem end off each fig and cut in half lengthwise.
• Mix vinegar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
• Add the figs and gently toss to coat.
• Let sit while you heat a grill (indoor or outdoor).
• If necessary, coat your grill with a little olive oil.
• When ready, grill the figs (reserving all of the marinade in the bowl) for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until grill marks appear -- don't overcook as the figs will become too mushy. Remove figs to a plate.
• To the reserved marinade, add olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper, whisking well to completely incorporate.
• Place greens in a large salad bowl; toss with dressing, then mound equal amounts on 4 individual serving plates.
• Place 2 fig halves decoratively over each plate of greens and serve.
