Pureed plum tomatoes make the base for the dressing, and are a natural complement to the grilled vegetables.

Ingredients

Serves:

    • 2 plum tomatoes cored, seeded and coarsely chopped
    • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
    • Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
    • 1 small eggplant cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
    • 2 small zucchini trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick ovals
    • 4 plum tomatoes cored and cut in half lengthwise
    • 1 fennel bulb trimmed and cut into 8 wedges
    • 1 red onion peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices (rings kept intact)
    • 1 lemon sliced
    • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese preferably imported (3 ounces)
    • 8 imported black olives, preferably Kalamata pitted and cut in half
    • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

1. To make salad dressing: Combine 2 tomatoes, lemon juice, broth, oil and oregano in a blender or food processor; blend or process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. To make salad: Prepare a grill. Lightly oil grill rack. Cook eggplant, zucchini, 4 tomatoes, fennel, onion and lemon slices, in batches if necessary, until browned and tender. (Fennel will take 4 to 5 minutes per side; eggplant, zucchini and onion 2 to 3 minutes per side; and tomatoes and lemon 1 to 2 minutes per side.) As the vegetables are done, transfer them to a large shallow serving dish. Toss gently with the dressing.

3. Garnish the salad with feta, black olives and a grinding of black pepper.
