We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Dressing ... First, zest the lemon. You need 1 teaspoon for the salad; then, juice the lemon for the dressing. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.

  • Step 2: Cheese and Vegetables ... You want to start the vegetables first, as they take longer to cook. Simply brush with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper; make sure to season both sides of the squash. Grill on the first side until you get nice char marks, then flip. The asparagus, keep an eye on, and roll as the asparagus cooks. The vegetables should take about 10-15 minutes.

  • Step 3: The last couple of minutes, brush the cheese with olive oil, and grill. This is not a melting cheese - so don't worry; it won't melt down into your grill. It will soften however. Grill just the like vegetables, you need good grill marks on the first side until you flip it. About 2 minutes cooking time in total.

  • Step 4: Plate ... Alternate the zucchini, summer squash, and asparagus; then, top with the grilled cheese slices, top with the pea shoots or micro greens and drizzle the dressing over the top.

  • Step 5: Serve and ENJOY! ... It is a light, healthy, summery fresh salad.
