Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Zucchini
- 2 whole Yellow squash
- 1 cup Marinated artichoke hearts
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks.
Brush both sides of the squash slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill the squash for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Set them aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Chop the grilled squash into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Add the marinated artichoke hearts, mixed salad greens, and optional Parmesan cheese to the bowl.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving.
