How To Make Rice Salad with Grilled Vegetables
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh basil, minced, or 1/2 tsp. dried
- 1 tsp fresh marjoram, minced, or 1/2 tsp. dried
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, freshly-ground, to taste
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 red bell pepper, halved
- 2 large Portobello mushroom caps
- 2 small zucchini, halved lengthwise
- 4 cup long-grain rice, leftover cooked
Instructions
-
Light the fire in your grill and get it down to medium-high heat. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper.
-
Place vegetables on a baking sheet and drizzle dressing over them, turning to coat evenly. Reserve any dressing remaining of baking sheet.
-
Grill vegetables (you may use a grill basket, or grill them directly on the grill rack) around 5 minutes, until slightly charred but still firm.
-
Transfer vegetables to a platter to cool. Chop vegetables into ½-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Add rice and remaining dressing and toss to combine.
