GRILLED PANZANELLA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Toss tomato, cucumber, cheese, olives, and herbs together in a bowl; cover and chill.
• Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Drizzle in oil, whisking until blended.
• Rub bread, bell pepper, and onion with oil using your hands; season with salt.
• Grill bell pepper and onion, covered, 3-5 minutes; turn vegetables over.
• Add the bread and grill until toasted on one side, 1-2 minutes.
• Turn bread and grill second side until toasted, 1-2 minutes more.
• Remove everything from the grill.
• Rub both sides of the bread with half a garlic clove, tear into pieces, and add to the vegetable-herb mixture.
• Chop the peppers and onion, and add to the salad.
• Drizzle with dressing (you may not use it all) and toss to coat.
• Serve immediately.
• Makes about 8 cups.
• Note: Onions are tough to grill.
• Here is an easier way: Push two skewers through the onion, spacing them about 1/2" apart.
• Cut between the skewers.
• Wrap and store the other half in the refrigerator.
• Be sure to soak the skewers in water for about 20 minutes before grilling, so they will not burn on the grill.
• Once grilled, cut the onions along both sides of the skewers for bite sized pieces.
