Grilled Vegetable Salad

Grilled Vegetable Salad is an easy summer side with grilled corn, peppers, and zucchini tossed in a grilled lime dressing with avocado.

This salad is like summer in a bowl! Sweet corn, juicy bell pepper, fresh zucchini, and red onion are cooked on the grill to bring out their sweetness. Tossed with a grilled lime dressing, buttery avocado, and fresh cilantro this will be the salad you can’t stop making!

Reasons to love this recipe!

• No need to heat up your house! This recipe can be made on the grill.
• This dish is equally delicious hot or cold, making it perfect for summer BBQs and potlucks.

Ingredients and substitutions:

• Oil – for the grill. Use something neutral like avocado or grapreseed.
• Corn – yellow, white, or a mix!
• Bell peppers – I like to use a variety of colors. You can use poblanos too for a subtle heat.
• Onion – I use purple, but any variety will do.
• Zucchini – or another summer squash.
• Limes – or swap lemons.
• Cilantro – brightens up the salad with a pop of freshness! Try parsley too.
• Salt and pepper

How to make grilled vegetable salad:

Prep your grill: Heat your grill, or grill pan, over medium high heat. Brush it with some oil to keep the vegetables from sticking.

Grill the veggies: Grill the veggies on all sides until grill marks appear and the veggies are cooked through.

Assemble the salad: Slice the vegetables into bite sized pieces and place in a large bowl with the dived avocado. Squeeze the grilled limes over the veggies, add the cilantro, salt, pepper, and toss.

Leftovers?

Store leftovers in a lidded container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The lime juice will keep the avocado from browning. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Can I make it without a BBQ?

Absolutely! As you can see in the video and photos, I used a cast iron grill pan for this recipe.

If you do have a barbecue, I recommend using it! You can grill all the vegetables at once, significantly cutting down on the cooking time.
