Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Yellow squash
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Eggplant
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 6 cups Mixed greens
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Core and quarter the red bell pepper, and peel and slice the red onion into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
In a large bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the vegetables on the hot grill in a single layer. Cook each side for 3-5 minutes until charred and tender, turning occasionally. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped tarragon leaves, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and honey. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Chop the grilled vegetables into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a large serving platter or bowl with the mixed greens.
Drizzle the tarragon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately, either warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
