Grilled Vegetable Salad with a Fried Egg

June 23, 2016 · 8 Comments

Grilled Vegetable Salad with a Fried EggLeftover grilled veggies are perfect for a next day meal, whether eaten alone, in a wrap, or atop a salad and I’ve got a very simple, quick and delicious summer salad for you today. It takes your leftover grilled vegetables and combines it with a freshly charred avocado and cherry tomatoes, a fried egg, and tons of fresh herbs. It’s great to enjoy the next day, if you’re like me and always make more grilled vegetables than needed. Of course this a great salad to make the same day you grill your veggies, but just as perfect for leftovers too, how yummy would grilled corn be!

I used grilled zucchini and eggplant, which had been seasoned with lemon, fresh tarragon and parsley. To put the salad together, quickly char heirloom cherry tomatoes with more fresh herbs until they began to burst and gain those signature grill marks. Then reheat your grilled veggies in the same pan and top it all onto a bed of spinach. I love using spinach because the warm veggies slightly wilts it, making it a semi-warm salad.

The final touch, well one of them, is to grill the avocado which can often become messy when grilled, so make sure it is pretty firm and dredged well in olive oil. Slice the grilled avocado atop the veggies alongside a crispy fried egg. Whether you leave the yolk center runny or not, that’s your choice, but I highly recommend leaving it runny so that you can break it and make a delicious yolky dressing. Finish your grilled vegetable salad with a drizzle of good olive oil, dash of balsamic, and a handful of different herbs, like my favorites of basil and fresh tarragon.

A quite simple dish, yet has quickly become my favorite summer salad!

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
