Grilled Vegetable Platter with Whipped Feta
Grilled Vegetable Platter with Whipped Feta Dip. A giant platter of fresh grilled vegetables with whipped lemon feta and grilled bread.
Equipment
Ingredients
Grilled Vegetables:
- 6 cups assorted vegetables for grilling, chopped into large chunks, I used 1 zucchini, 2 yellow squash, 1/2 red onion, 1 red bell pepper, 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
Whipped Lemon Feta
- 6 ounces feta
- 1 small lemon, zest and juice
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons honey, hot honey or balsamic reduction, for drizzling
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Chop vegetables to roughly the same large size, then place in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Transfer vegetables to a grill pan, and place on the grill grates. Grill, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until vegetables are tender and lightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.
- While the vegetables are grilling, place the feta, lemon juice, greek yogurt and garlic into the base of a food processor. Process until creamy and smooth, roughly 1-2 minutes. Taste, I find that this is salty enough without any salt, but you can add some if you'd like. Remove and place in a bowl or serving platter.
- Arrange vegetables on top of the whipped feta and drizzle with honey or balsamic vinegar and garnish with fresh basil.
Notes
I like to serve this with a grilled baguette! To do so, slice the baguette in 1/2, then brush with olive oil. Place cut side down on the grill grates and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is toasted to your preference. Remove, then slice and serve alongside the dip.
