    California grilled vegetable salad is the farmers-market showcase — zucchini, peppers, eggplant, and asparagus charred on the grill, then tossed with greens, feta, and a balsamic vinaigrette. It’s smoky, colorful, and satisfying.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Brush the vegetables with 3 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper.
    2. Grill over medium-high heat, turning, until charred and tender, 3-5 minutes per side.
    3. Cut the grilled vegetables into bite-size pieces.
    4. Whisk the vinegar, 3 tbsp oil, and mustard into a vinaigrette.
    5. Toss the greens with the vegetables, feta, basil, and vinaigrette. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Cut the vegetables in even pieces so they cook together, and don't crowd the grill — char beats steam. Serve warm or at room temperature.
