GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, parsley, basil, and garlic.
• Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Toss the sauce with the asparagus, mushrooms, and onion. Place in a shallow baking dish.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let the vegetables marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Coat the grill rack or grill pan with nonstick cooking spray and preheat the grill to medium high heat.
• Place the spinach leaves in a large bowl and set aside.
• Drain the asparagus mixture, reserving the marinade.
• Grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until they are tender and lightly charred (about 6-8 minutes).
• Transfer the grilled vegetables to a cutting board and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
• Add the grilled vegetables to the spinach.
• Transfer the marinade to a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
• Remove from heat and pour over the salad mixture. Use tongs to toss the salad and marinade.
• Test for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as desired.
• Serve immediately.
