    Grilled Eggplant and Greens with Spiced Yogurt

    First time grilling your greens? Lay them across the grill grates so they don’t fall through, and be ready to turn them—they char quickly. Keep the vegetables moving while you grill so they brown all over (this means you need to stand by, tongs in hand, while they cook).

    Grilled Bread Salad with Sweet Peppers and Onions

    Our grilled version of panzanella boasts sweet-and-sour flavors and gets even better as it sits. No need to serve this salads piping hot. Cook the veg ahead and assemble the dishes later—it's great at room temperature.

    Grilled Mushrooms and Carrots with Sesame

    The nutty, woodsy mushrooms play up the sweetness of the carrots. Memorize the dressing—it’s great on pretty much everything. Oil will allow the produce to take on even color and also help round out the dish’s flavor. Just don’t use butter—it’ll burn.

    Grilled Panzanella

    Grilling the bread dries it out a bit, so it can absorb more dressing.
