CHAPTER 3

Salads

An inspired mix of tastes and textures—sweet tomatoes, buttery ripe avocado, crisp and refreshing romaine, peppery arugula, charry onion slices, tender steak, plump shrimp, and don’t forget the fresh herbs!—grilled salads are the perfect summer food.

We’ve included side salads like Grilled Eggplant Caponata Salad or Portobello and Prosciutto Salad, with big flavors that can stand up to your grilled main course. Or forgo the main course and make your protein part of the salad! You’ve got a world of flavors to choose from— Vietnamese Chicken Salad, Thai Beef Salad, Shrimp and Pineapple Salad with Basil and Baby Greens, Mediterranean Swordfish Salad. Or try our grilled twists on everybody’s favorite salads like Caesar, taco, and panzanella (here we supplement the tomatoes and croutons with grilled chicken). Start grilling your salad tonight!
