Boil potatoes in a stock pot of boiling water until firmly tender, cool and cut into chunks.
Season the potatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss together and grill cut potatoes on a grilling pan until crisp edges and fork tender.
Baste grilled potatoes and place in a baking dish, then add more vinaigrette while potatoes are hot. Cover with foil until ready to serve, keeping them warm.
Crostini with Grilled Asparagus
*1-2 baguette Artisan or French Bread, sliced, drizzled with olive oil and toasted in the oven.
*Extra Light Olive Oil, for brushing on baguette slices
*Grilled Or Roasted Asparagus
*Parmesan Cheese, shaved in strips
*Feta or Goat Cheese
Layer the toasted baguettes with Parmesan cheese, grilled asparagus and feta or goat cheese. Warm slightly if desired and enjoy!
Grilled Asparagus
Wash and trim the ends of the asparagus and place on a serving platter and drizzle with olive oil and black pepper. Salt to taste after grilling.
Place asparagus on heated grill on a low heat. Grill until asparagus has grill marks and softens. Baste with vinaigrette just before removing from the grill. Cut grilled asparagus into about 2 1/2 in pieces and add the tops of the toasted and sliced crostini.
Grilled Green Beans
I used thawed green beans from my garden that I had blanched, froze in the freezer. I removed and thawed them and seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper. You could use fresh or frozen store-bought green beans.
Grill green beans on a grilling pan until they get grill marks turning them over a couple of times. Baste with vinaigrette And remove from grill and enjoy!
Enjoy!
