Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Vegetable Salad with Herb Vinaigrette.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium-high temperature, ensuring to lightly oil the grill grate to prevent any sticking.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, create a delightful dressing by whisking together minced shallot, red wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a medley of herbs including parsley, chives, cilantro, and dill.
Step 3
As you whisk, gradually incorporate olive oil until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy dressing.
Step 4
Next, prepare your vibrant array of vegetables—arrange asparagus, corn, zucchini, yellow squash, green onions, bell pepper, and red onion on baking sheets.
Step 5
Brush each vegetable generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
Step 6
Once your grill is ready, place the vegetables directly on the hot grate.
Step 7
Grill them, turning occasionally, until they achieve a beautiful char and tenderness: about 5 minutes for green onions, 8 minutes for asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and red onion, and 10 minutes for corn.
Step 8
After grilling, transfer the vegetables back to the baking sheets to cool down.
Step 9
Once they reach room temperature, chop the asparagus, green onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces.
Step 10
Quarter the grilled red onion slices and add them to the mix, then cut the corn kernels from the cobs and toss them in as well.
Step 11
Finally, drizzle your homemade vinaigrette over the colorful vegetable medley and gently toss to ensure every piece is beautifully coated.
Step 12
Enjoy this fresh, grilled vegetable dish that bursts with flavor and is perfect for any outdoor gathering.
