Steps:
- Heat the grill to high. Slice the potatoes in half and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices; brush both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the potatoes and zucchini until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush radicchio with oil, put on the grill and cook until lightly charred. While the potatoes, zucchini and radicchio are grilling, whisk together the vinegar, shallot, mustard and honey in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Put the potatoes, zucchini and radicchio in a bowl and gently toss with 1 cup of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the potato mixture to a platter and top with the goat cheese. Drizzle with more of the dressing and sprinkle with chopped chives.
GRILLED SCALLION POTATO SALAD
Potato salad often has a bit of raw onion in it to add a crisp sharp bite to the dish, but in this recipe onions and scallions are grilled. Grilling them replaces some of their intensity with a sweet-smoky char that pairs nicely with the red skinned potatoes.

GRILLED SCALLOPS, ZUCCHINI, AND SCALLIONS WITH WHITE BEANS
Categories Bean Backyard BBQ Scallop Zucchini Summer Grill Grill/Barbecue Gourmet
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Prepare grill. Soak skewers in warm water 30 minutes.
- In a colander rinse and drain beans. Chop cilantro. Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon. In a bowl toss together beans, cilantro, lemon juice, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a saucepan of boiling salted water blanch scallions until barely tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer scallions with tongs to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper. Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices using a mandoline or other manual slicer and season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl combine kosher salt, cumin, and pepper to taste. Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary and pat scallops dry. Toss scallops in cumin mixture to coat. Hold 2 skewers parallel to each other and about 1/2 inch apart. Thread 6 scallops onto skewers so flat sides can lie flat on grill. (Each scallop should be pierced by both skewers. This prevents scallops from spinning when turning them over on grill.) Thread remaining scallops onto remaining skewers in same manner. Brush scallops with oil.
- Grill scallions and zucchini on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until zucchini is tender and scallions are golden, about 1 minute on each side. Grill scallops, turning occasionally, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. (If grilling is out of the question, scallions, zucchini, and scallops-not on skewers-can all be cooked in a large nonstick skillet: Lightly brush skillet with oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot before cooking vegetables and scallops separately.)
- Toss zucchini with beans and serve topped with scallions and scallops and garnished with cilantro.
GRILLED ZUCCHINI
Naturally suited to grilling, zucchini is both juicy and mild, which means it stays moist even when it's hit with fire, and it soaks up the smoky flavors of the grill in the short time it cooks. Maximize surface area - and convenience - by cutting the zucchini into sturdy planks, which cook through quickly without slipping through the grates while still retaining some texture. Brush them with olive oil, season enthusiastically with salt and pepper and grill until crisp-tender to enjoy them as a simple side, tossed into a salad or tucked into sandwiches. If you'd like to show them off, arrange them over some ricotta, then dot with herbs, capers and lemon and serve with grilled bread for an easy seasonal supper. The best summer recipes allow you to embrace technique but customize at whim.

Steps:
- Prepare the grill for direct grilling and heat over high.
- Working on a large baking sheet, brush the zucchini all over with oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Once the grill is heated, add the zucchini to the grates in an even layer, leaving about 1 inch between to avoid crowding. Cook, uncovered, until grill-marked and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The zucchini should tenderize in just the amount of time it takes to develop grill marks.)
- In a small bowl, stir the ricotta, if using, with a couple tablespoons of water until extra creamy; season with salt and pepper. Spread the ricotta mixture on a platter, then top with the grilled zucchini, piling it organically to gain some height. Though you need no garnish, you can top with fresh herbs, capers, a flurry of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice if you are feeling fancy. Drizzle with olive oil and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender vegetables: Look for zucchini and scallions that are firm and brightly colored. New potatoes should be small and smooth, with no blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. For zucchini, cut them into 1-inch thick slices. For scallions, cut them into 2-inch pieces. For new potatoes, leave them whole if they are small, or cut them in half if they are larger.
- Use a well-oiled grill: This will help prevent the vegetables from sticking. Brush the grill grates with olive oil before preheating.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. Grill the zucchini and scallions for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Grill the new potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper: Do this to taste after they are cooked.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Grilled zucchini, scallions, and new potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. They are easy to make and can be cooked in just a few minutes. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try.
