Catalonian-Inspired Grilled Vegetable Salad (Xató)

Xató is a salad from the Catalonia region of Spain that features an alluringly bright and nutty romesco-like sauce made from peppers, tomatoes, almonds, sherry vinegar, and more. It's traditionally served with a varied mix of fish and vegetables, but we've found it's also delicious on grilled vegetables.

Italian Salsa Rossa (Tomato and Bell Pepper Sauce for Boiled Meats)

Grilled Leeks With Romesco Sauce

Cooking leeks on the grill can take a very long time, but by par-boiling them first, we were able to cut the grilling time to less than 10 minutes. Once softened and lightly charred, they make a beautiful pairing with Spanish romesco sauce, made from almonds and roasted tomatoes and peppers.

Tomato-Mint Sauce

In essence, this is a simple marinara with the addition of mint, but that one minor change makes a big difference.
