Dressing

Step 2

Combine all ingredients either in food processor, blender or in a bowl if using an immersion (stick) blender.

NOTE: I have noticed that the dressing becomes thick in the fridge - so thin with a wee bit of milk if desired.

Grill zucchini and mushrooms until grill marks appear on both sides.

Step 7

Steam the asparagus, green beans and snow peas.

Step 8

Assembly

Step 9

Add the grilled and steamed veggies along with the tomatoes.

Step 11

Add the red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, and torn basil; toss gently.

Step 12

Take the loaf of bread and tear into bit size pieces; add to salad.

Step 13

Add the dressing (as much as you like) and toss.

Step 14

If there is any bread left over - that is for the cook to noche on whenever they please - Enjoy!

Yummm! The combination of vegetables with the greens, basil, bread, etc. was phenomenal. But, the dressing was sooo good with the added crusty bread to soak it all up made it pure salad heaven! Thanks so much for sharing, Luvcookn! Made it for Billboard Tag.

While I cut the salad back I did make the dressing as posted - I used the extra dressing on my dinner salads. A really good dressing that I have added to my cookbook.Loved the addition of the grilled vegetables. Made a great lunch and enough for lunch the next day. Enjoyed!
