This recipe is an excellent side dish hot or cold. On Sunday, we grilled the vegetables and the leftovers I turned into a great tasting salad.
Tomato Vegetable Salad
Ingredients:
- 4 Tomatoes, chopped(You don’t want the pieces too small if you’re putting on the grill. I have a Grill Basket that cooks the vegetables perfectly.)
- 2-3 Zucchini, chopped
- 2-3 Yellow Squash, chopped
- 1 Red Onion, chopped
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, chopped
Directions:
- After grilling vegetables, store in a container and chill well. Overnight in the refrigerator works best. Remove from refrigerator and add1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard.
Your family is sure to love this colorful Tomato Vegetable Salad with their hamburgers.

Grilled vegetables are just incredible! The weather is finally changing and any excuse to be outside is a good one…. I have never grilled tomatoes I bet they make a great addition.
thanks for sharing!

Hi Chef Dennis,
By grilling them first you release the flavors and you add a whole new taste. Grilling a tomato does so much for the flavor. The flavor of the tomato becomes intensified by grilling it. You also get a great flavor from the browning of the tomato. Since tomatoes are naturally high in sugar the grill caramelizes those sugars and gives the tomato some really great flavor.
