Zucchini And Pepper Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Shave the zucchini into long wide ribbons using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, turning the squash, if necessary, to ease shaving. Discard the seedy core. Put the zucchini into a colander set inside a bowl, sprinkle with salt, toss and drain for 30 minutes. Discard the liquid.
• Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, and pepper in a serving bowl. Add the zucchini, onion, frisee, and radishes. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with almonds, basil, and Manchego cheese and serve. Can be stored, covered, in refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure , or heat a 2-burner grill pan over medium heat until hot.
• Toss vegetables with 2 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes total. If using grill pan, grill in batches, 10 to 15 minutes per batch. Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Peel peppers and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut zucchini crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
• Whisk together vinegar, brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Stir in vegetables and basil. Let stand 15 minutes for flavors to blend.

Steps:

• Mix zucchini, celery, red onion, and bell pepper in a bowl.
• Whisk sugar, rice vinegar, water, both amounts of vegetable oil, wine vinegar, basil, salt, and black pepper together in a separate bowl. Drizzle dressing over zucchini mixture; toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• In small jar with tight-fitting lid, shake dressing ingredients.
• In large bowl, mix zucchini, bell pepper and jicama. Pour dressing over mixture; stir gently.
• Arrange lettuce on 4 individual salad plates or large serving platter. Spoon salad mixture over lettuce.

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat oil and butter.
• Saute the onions and garlic until tender.
• Add in zucchini, both peppers and corn; saute for about 4-5 minutes or until the zucchini and peppers are JUST tender but not mushy.
• Add in grated Parmesan cheese (if using) and salt and pepper to taste; mix to combine.

Steps:

• Peel zucchini and chop into 1/2-inch cubes or thin strips about 2 inches long. (If it is fresh and tender, peeling isn't necessary.)
• Chop or slice peppers into strips (according to what you did with the zucchini and onion; make it all similar in shape).
• Stir together zucchini, peppers, and onion.
• In a jar with a tight lid, make dressing by shaking vinegar, oil, and sugar.
• Pour dressing over veggies and toss gently.
• Cover and chill a few hours or overnight.
• Stir before serving with a slotted spoon so that the excess dressing runs off.

Steps:

• Cut both ends off each small zucchini, then core, seed & thinly slice the red bell pepper.
• Place zucchini & red bell pepper in boiling salted water & cook for 2 minutes, then drain & arrange on serving plate.
• Zest the lemon into long, thin strips/curls (The original recipe calls for blanching the zest for 2 minutes, but I don't.), then juice the lemon.
• Mix oil, lemon juice, chopped basil, salt, pepper & sugar.
• Pour over vegetables while they are still warm, then sprinkle with lemon zest & serve.

Steps:

• Combine oil, curry powder and garlic in small skillet.
• Stir over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Cool completely; discard garlic.
• Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Stir in curry mixture (can be prepared 1 day ahead).
• Grill or bbq peppers until charred and blackened on all sides.
• Put into a plastic bag, close, and steam for 10 minutes.
• Peel and seed.
• Cut into ¼ inch wide strips.
• Brush zucchini with 2 tblsps olive oil.
• Grill or bbq until brown and tender, about 4 minutes per side.
• Cool slightly.
• Cut into ½ inch pieces.
• Boil corn until tender, drain well.
• Place corn, peppers, zucchini and onion in large bowl.
• Pour curry mixture over and toss to coat (can be prepared up to 6 hours ahead).

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the first six ingredients. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the salad dressing ingredients; shake well. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with a slotted spoon.

Steps:

• Heat greased grill to medium heat.
• Toss peppers, zucchini and peaches with 1/4 cup dressing. Grill 5 to 6 min. or just until peaches are softened, turning after 3 min. Remove peaches from grill. Continue to grill vegetables an additional 5 to 7 min. or until crisp-tender, turning after 4 min. Transfer to cutting board.
• Chop peppers and zucchini. Toss lettuce with remaining dressing in large bowl. Add chopped vegetables and peaches; mix lightly.
• Top with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Cook brown rice according to package directions (if you wish, add a 1/2 a vegetable cube in place of any salt listed in the cooking instructions) and set aside to cool.
• Chop vegetables and cheese and toss with cooled, cooked rice. I use a mandoline slicer to get a variety of shapes and textures to my vegetables. Use whatever vegetables appeal to you.
• In a small jar make vinaigrette by mixing the salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, garlic and oregano together and then adding the oil.
• This will actually make more dressing than is needed for the salad, I think, but it is a solid vinaigrette that performs well on other salads.
• Dress the salad to taste and serve immediately.
• This salad can also enhanced by chicken, tuna or chopped egg.
