Grilled Vegetable Platter
This Grilled Vegetable Platter features a mix of asparagus, cherry tomatoes, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini, and red onion, all brushed with a herb-infused vinaigrette before grilling. The vegetables develop a light char that enhances their natural flavors while maintaining a tender-crisp texture. The combination of fresh herbs and a balsamic vinaigrette adds a tangy and savory dimension to the dish, making it a satisfying side or a light main.
