Grilled Vegetables Platter

Grilled Vegetables makes a great healthy meal OR colourful starter - it's like your own homemade vegetable antipasto, but it costs a fraction of what you pay at delis, tastes much better and it's preservative free!

Balsamic Chicken Salad - Striped Spatula

This restaurant-inspired Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad is loaded with Mediterranean flavors and finished with an easy-to-make balsamic vinaigrette. Prep the components ahead for lunch on-the-go.

Grilled Lemon-Garlic Chicken and Tomato Kebabs With Basil Chimichurri

Grilled chicken skewers don't always need a long marinade to be full of flavor. These spend just a few minutes in a lemony, garlicky mix before they're grilled. The hot chicken absorbs the flavor of the fresh basil chimichurri, and the grilled cherry tomatoes bring sweetness and acid.

Grilled Polenta With Marinara, Parmesan, and Basil

Rich and flavorful polenta is grilled then topped with marinara, basil, and parmesan to give this side dish the hearty feeling of a whole, satisfying meal.

Grilled Strawberry and Halloumi Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Making good use of the grill, this recipe combines both grilled strawberries and seared halloumi cheese with peppery arugula, spinach, mint, and a balsamic vinaigrette to create a salad with a lot of contrasts that work incredibly well together as a whole.

Grilled Summer Squash and Kasseri Cheese With Lemon and Mint

Zucchini and yellow squash slices are grilled and layered with softened kasseri cheese, then given a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of mint to create a fresh and satisfying side dish or appetizer.

Grilled Pizza With Grilled Tomatoes, Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Marcona Almonds

I know I'm committing a grave seasonal recipe faux pas here by combining a spring ingredient (we're in the middle of asparagus season!) with a late summer product, but dammit, we've gotten so good at cherry tomatoes that they're sweet and flavorful pretty much all year round.

Balsamic Vegetable Skewers

Balsamic vinaigrette adds a tanginess to fresh vegetables that have been skewered and grilled until lightly charred.

Grilled Pasta Primavera

A medley of fresh vegetables are grilled, chopped, and tossed with pasta and a light cream sauce to make a great grilled pasta primavera.

Mediterranean Chicken Thighs

Mediterranean chicken thighs roasted with potatoes in one pan with peppers, tomatoes, and capers makes an easy yet delicious and hearty meal.
