My Favorite Labor Day Recipes
Whether your long weekend of leisure will be spent catching rays at the local beach, tapping toes at the nearest music festival or reeling in fish at a well-stocked lake, one thing is certain: Labor Day is best when celebrated outside. What could be more American on this Labor Day than an outside picnic or backyard BBQ party?
California Grilled Veggie SandwichIngredients:
1/4 cup mayonnaise In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator. Preheat the grill for high heat. Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside. Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don't burn. Remove from grill, and layer the with vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches. |
