Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place whole scrubbed potatoes on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle minced garlic and salt and pepper over potatoes, and mix a bit with your hands to coat potatoes thoroughly.
- Bake potatoes in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes; remove and allow to cool at room temperature just until you can handle them, then cut each in half and set aside.
- While potatoes are cooking, blanch the broccolini by bringing a large saucepan of water to a rapid boil, then adding broccolini and letting cook for 1 minute; remove immediately and drop broccolini in an ice bath or put in a colander under cold running water. Drain well and set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Toss or brush the potatoes, broccolini, and the sliced onions with olive oil.
- When the grill is ready, place the vegetables on the grate.
- Cook the broccoli for 2 minutes, flip, cook 2 more minutes, then remove from grill to a bowl.*
- Cook the potatoes and onions for 4 minutes, flip, cook for 4 more minutes, then remove from grill to bowl with broccolini.*
- Remove vegetables when just fork tender and slightly charred.
- Allow vegetables to cool, then toss with the tomatoes and cilantro.
- Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss, taste and adjust adding more dressing and adding salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve at room temperature. This will serve 6 to 8 people.
