    Recipe Introduction


    Our tribute to spring continues with this tasty grilled vegetable recipe. When spring scallions hit the market, substitute a bunch for the leeks - but watch them carefully because they cook quickly.

    List of Ingredients




    Grilled Leek and Bean Salad


    3 medium leek(s)
    1 cup canned great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
    1 Tbsp olive oil, extra-virgin
    1 Tbsp fat-free chicken broth
    1 tsp white wine vinegar
    3/4 tsp Dijon mustard
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1 Tbsp parsley, Italian, minced

    Recipe



    Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

    Trim leeks to yield 4 inches of white bulb; discard green tops. Cut leeks lengthwise in half and rinse them under running water to clean; pat dry. Place leeks, cut-side down on grill, and cook until tender, about 5 to 10 minutes on first side, and 3 to 5 minutes on second side. Remove leeks from heat; trim off stem ends.

    Slice leeks into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place in a serving bowl; stir in beans. Stir together oil, broth, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a separate bowl; pour over salad. Toss gently but well; garnish with parsley.

    Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
