Ingredients

1 small orange bell pepper, seeded and quartered

2 large Portobello mushroom caps, stemmed, sliced

1 small summer squash, cut on bias

1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and quartered

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more to taste

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup feta cheese, diced

1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted

3 cups baby spinach

1 cup packed basil leaves

Directions

  1. Place all vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well making sure each vegetable gets covered with oil. Place a grill pan over medium heat. Once heated, place your vegetables on grill and cook accordingly: grill mushrooms about 5 minutes per side; peppers and squash about 3 minutes per side.
  2. Once all the vegetables are grilled place them in a large serving bowl to slightly cool. Dice and add feta cheese, pitted olives, spinach and basil leaves. Gently toss to mix well and drizzle more oil, to taste, if necessary and serve.

The last review was four years ago. It’s about time for a fresh one. <br /><br />I had to halve this for just the wife and I. Even so there was plenty of leftovers for at least one more serving. So serve salads individually adding veggies over spinach and sprinkle feta over. <br /><br />Let’s start with the size of the peppers. Do you really want to stuff a quarter of one of those into your mouth? I’ll guess not. So grill them at that size and chop into more bite size pieces. Same thing for the other vegetables. I added red onion and when cooled squeezed fresh lemon juice over them. <br /><br />I also grilled some lemon garlic marinated chicken breast which I added to the salad. The wife suggested chopped tomatoes at the end which sounded great. <br /><br />We’re not sure how often we’ll put this on our menu but it was good enough.
