Derek’s Grilled Vegetable Salad
Recipe courtesy of Derek Lankinen, Beefcake’s Burger Factory.
Method:
- Combine apple cider vinegar with a couple of cranks of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in the olive oil vigorously, incorporating as much air as possible.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into 1/4″ half-moons. Toss with dressing to coat.
- Slice onions into rings, and beets into coins. Toss with a little olive oil.
- Grill onions over high heat until they start to turn translucent. Keep an eye as they can burn.
- If possible, turn off one burner on your barbecue and grill beets over indirect heat – on the cooler side of your barbecue, above the burner you turned off. Turn both onions and beets once to grill both sides evenly and remove from heat when fully cooked.
- Toss beets and onions together with tomatoes and cucumbers; add arugula. Toss again, add dressing to taste.
- Crumble feta overtop.
- Try it with Derek’s Marinated Flank Steak sliced overtop!
