Meat on the grill. I was looking forward to this. I put the steak in a
marinade of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh rosemary. Chris did a perfect job on the grill. The meat was quite delicious.
For a side dish I made a zucchini salad. I used the
mandoline to thinly slice the zucchini and some red onion. I toasted some walnuts and tossed the zucchini, onion with some baby greens. Added a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Tossed
in some grape tomatoes and topped the salad with the walnuts.
Before dinner we watched the Belmont Stakes. I had some of the roasted peppers leftover from this week, so I made a Red Pepper Hummus. Okay, it was really, really good. Chris and I are not fans of garlic, so I googled Hummus Without Garlic and found
this recipe on Might Good Eats. I added the Roasted Peppers and loved it.
