Vegetables Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 cups canned or cooked red beans 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1/2 pound bowtie pasta 1 1/2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 3 scallions -- minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil -- up to 3 Basic Vinaigrette as needed to moisten the salad (see separate recipe) salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste 1 1/2 pounds grilled ripe juicy tomatoes -- chopped 6 to 8 servings Combine the beans in a container with the oil and vinegar, mix well, then cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Cook the pasta al dente, drain and rinse until cool. Combine in a large serving bowl with the beans and remaining ingredients except the tomatoes. Toss well and refrigerate until needed. Once the grill is going, grill the tomatoes and toss them into the salad. Note: Grilling Tomatoes: Tomatoes tend to get soft very quickly on the grill, and they are tricky to turn, but the results are tasty and worth the effort. I like to stick with the simple taste of Olive Oil-Lemon Marinade (page 113) for really good summer tomatoes, but tomatoes not at their peak of flavor can benefit from the stronger taste of Teriyaki Marinade or Curry Marinade (see separate recipes). Slice large, firm tomatoes at least 1/2 inch thick or cut plum tomatoes in half lengthwise and brush lightly with marinade. Grill on both sides until the edges brown, about 5 to 8 minutes total. Cherry tomatoes work well in kebabs.
