I used a special "grill pan" for this recipe. It is a pan with built in grooves that cooks food like a grill on your stovetop. You can buy these at any kitchen store. There are heavy iron pans for around $100, or cheaper aluminum with non stick surface for much less. Good Christmas idea!

Vegetables for Grilling:

Sliced zucchini

Sliced red bell pepper

Asparagus

Yellow squash, sliced

Oil for grilling:

2 tbsp. olive oil combined with 1 tsp. dry rosemary

Brush rosemary infused oil on the sliced vegetables and grill them for about 4 minutes on each side, until they become slightly soft and the blackened grill marks appear. Remove from heat, and julienne.

Salad dressing: (You can use your favorite dressing, or try this)

2 tsp. dijon mustard

1 tbsp. sugar

4 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

3 tbsp. olive oil

Blend until smooth.

Salad: butter lettuce or any type of lettuce you like, tossed with some baby mixed greens. Toss the lettuce and greens with the dressing. Transfer to plate and top with julienned roased veggies.

Enjoy!
