🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium yellow squash
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

2. Wash and dry all vegetables. Trim the ends off the zucchini and yellow squash, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

3. Cut the bell peppers into wide strips, discarding the seeds and membranes.

4. Peel the red onion and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.

5. Place all the prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

6. In a small bowl, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, fresh parsley, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.

7. Place the vegetables on the preheated grill in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until vegetables are tender and have visible grill marks.

8. Remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

9. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the grilled vegetables and toss gently to coat.

10. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
