Have you ever had Zucchini Grilled?

While sauteed and roasted zucchini are delicious, my personal favorite way to prepare this vegetable is on the grill.

If you’ve ever been intimidated by grilling zucchini, I can assure you that it’s easier than you think!

While many recipes require some precise knife work to cut each zucchini into perfectly flat slices, this one takes a much easier approach to cutting the vegetable.

Long spears of zucchini are super easy to cut and grill. We’ll also be adding a miso glaze for rich umami flavor with a touch of sweetness, elevating grilled zucchini to a whole new level.

In the spirit of honesty, this recipe is coming to you today for no reason other than I have a TON of miso in my fridge that I want to use up.

I bought it all for a recipe development job I had last fall (where one of the recipes was a dessert that included miso caramel!) and it’s been in my fridge ever since.

I make a batch of traditional miso dressing every few weeks, just to keep on hand. It gets drizzled over lunch salads, sockeye salmon, roasted vegetables and just about everything else.

This time around, I also had a knob of ginger hanging around the fridge (left over from making Asian-style chicken sloppy joes last week), so I decided to take my traditional dressing up a few notches with this miso ginger dressing.

Fall is in the air a little bit, even though it does seem like summer in the Midwest now extends into October or even early November, really.

While I’ve enjoyed a long summer of grilled buttermilk chicken and my Mexican street corn salad recipe, I’m very ready to dig into a big bowl of soup. Specifically, a big bowl of soup with noodles!

When I’m truly chilled to the bone in the fall and winter, nothing warms me up like a big bowl of ramen. While my little town has recently gotten a (really good!) pho restaurant, we don’t have anyplace to get ramen.

But it’s really not hard to make at home. I usually turn to shrimp ramen, or the tomato ramen with meatballs that I’m sharing with you today.

This is not the typical college student meal you might think of when you think of ramen. No, my ramen has big flavors and lots of filling toppings.

This Miso Sesame Dressing is irresistible

Whenever there is a potluck situation, there’s always plenty of people who volunteer chicken meatballs, dips, spicy potato chips, brownies, cookies, etc. Somebody (OK, me) may even show up with a big batch of lemon margaritas.

But you have to be pretty brave to be that person that throws down “I’ll bring a salad,” right?

Because let’s be honest, most people could easily ignore the green salad at a party. It’s probably the weekend, and it’s a fun gathering, and who wants to crowd their plate with salad when you could be loading up on stuff from one of my charcuterie ideas instead?

That’s why I’ve experimented with this Great Green Salad with Miso Dressing to make it the maximum amount of irresistible. Nobody is going to a skip a serving of this, I promise.

So go ahead – be that brave soul that declares I’M GONNA BRING THE SALAD.

One of my goals for this blog has been to make it a resource for you. A place you can turn to when you need a basic salmon baked in oven, a crockpot soup, or a killer margarita. Where you know you’ll be able to get a easy gravy recipe that will work every time.

One way that I know that I’m slowly moving toward that goal is that I find myself using my OWN blog as a resource.

One thing about working from home is that it gives you flexibility as to where to work. I don’t mean that you can work at the local coffee shop, or while you’re away from home for whatever reason.

I mean, you can work in the dining room . . . or in bed . . . or on the couch. Without a formal “office” or even a comfortable desk to sit at in our home, I’ve been starting the day working at the dining room table (this table also functions as my photo studio).

In theory, I get the most efficient work done here, because you know, I’m sitting upright. Focusing. Like a real office worker.
