years.
GRILLED GREEN BEAN AND RED ONION SALAD
SALAD
1 1/2 lb. green beans, trimmed
2 tbsp. olive oil
Light the grill. Toss the green beans with the oil. When the coals turn
gray, use tongs to set the beans in a single layer on the grill. Cook them
for about 4 minutes, turning them often. The beans should char in spots, but
do not let them burn all over. They are cooked when they look slightly
wilted. Remove the beans from the grill and return them to the mixing bowl.
Cover the salad tightly and refrigerate for several hours or dress it and
serve right away.
DRESSING
1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper,
to taste
1/4 c. olive oil
1 head chicory, torn into pieces
1/2 red onion, very finely chopped
1/2 red onion, quartered (for garnish)
In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly
drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing emulsifies.
Arrange the chicory in a wide, shallow serving bowl. Using tongs, add the
green beans. Pour the dressing over the beans and sprinkle them with chopped
onion. Garnish with the onion quarters and serve at once
GRILLED MUSHROOM SALAD

Salt and freshly ground black pepper,

2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
Light the grill. Remove and discard a slice from the bottom of each mushroom
stem. If the caps are sandy, wipe them with a clean cloth. Brush the
mushrooms with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the coals turn gray, set
the mushrooms, rounded sides down, on the grill and cook them for 8 to 10
minutes, turning them often. The mushrooms are done when they start to
release some of their liquid and collapse a little. Remove them from the
grill and cut some of the largest mushrooms in half. If the mushrooms are
very large, you can slice them. Let the mushrooms cool slightly. In a small
bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in the
remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, whisking constantly until it is all
combined. Pour the dressing over the mushrooms, then cover them tightly with
