Whole Foods Market Recipe of the Month - June 

Get fired up! Summer is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, friends and fine food all at once, and grilling is what helps bring them together. The grill or fire pit has held an important place in virtually every country and culture throughout history. In our busy, modern lives, grilling celebrates the delightful simplicity and naturally bold flavors of whole foods, and allows us to explore flavors of the world without leaving our own backyards.

 

Grilled Summer Vegetable Salad with Chickpeas and Basil

 

Enjoy the summer harvest with this delicious salad. Freshly grated parmesan provides the best flavor but experiment with other cheeses like feta, gruyère or Manchego, if you like.

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and quartered
• 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and quartered
• 1 small red onion, cut into thick rings
• 2 zucchini, thickly sliced lengthwise
• 2 yellow squash, thickly sliced lengthwise
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped basil
• 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

 

Method:

 

Oil grill grates, then preheat grill to medium high heat. Working in batches, grill peppers, onions, zucchini and squash, flipping once, until just charred in parts and tender, 6 to 8 minutes total; transfer to a large platter as done. Set aside to let cool before cutting into bite-size pieces.

In a large bowl, combine grilled vegetables, garlic, vinegar, oil, basil, chickpeas, salt and pepper. Garnish with parmesan and serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve. Serves 4 to 6

Pearson Candy Company was founded in 1909 by P. Edward Pearson with the assistance of his two brothers John Albert and Oscar F. Pearson. A few years later, two more brothers Waldemar and C. Fritz joined the Minneapolis-based company, which began as a candy distribution firm, doing a little bit of manufacturing on the side.  The Nut Goodie Bar, one of the company's first manufactured products, made its debut in 1912 as a premium 5-cent candy bar, and was met with much success. Pearson's Salted Nut Roll was introduced in 1933 at the height of the depression.

 

In August 2011, Pearson's was acquired by Brynwood Partners VI, L.P. located in Greenwich, CT.  As we celebrate our first 100 years, we not only reflect on our rich history, but lay the foundation for a strong future. We are honored to continue a tradition started by the Pearson brothers and take pride in the fact that our candies have brought enjoyment to so many generations!  Pearson's candy will be sampling at Anderson Race Management events this year season. We thank Pearson's for their tenth year of support to our active runners.
