- 2 cups baby arugula
Directions
- Prepare a grill on medium high heat.
- Brush the squash, zucchini and asparagus on both sides with olive oil, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the veggies on the grill for about 3 minutes, turning frequently to slightly char on all sides, and then transfer to a cutting board. Cut the vegetables into 1-inch pieces once cool enough to handle.
