Ingredients
For the Salad
- 2-3 cups market lettuce
- 1 pound assorted summer squash
- ½ cup heirloom cherry tomatoes halved
- ⅓ cup crumbled goat cheese
- fresh basil
- fresh mint
For the Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 1 garlic clove finely minced
- ½ shallot finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅛ cup balsamic vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare an indoor or outdoor grill over medium high heat.
- To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until evenly combined. Dress the salad with ½ of the vinaigrette and taste. Add more vinaigrette if needed otherwise reserve the remaining vinaigrette for a later use.
- Cut summer squash into 1 inch pieces. Brush the summer squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until grill marks are present. Remove from the grill and brush the grilled zucchini with a bit of the balsamic vinaigrette. Set aside.
- On a platter, arrange the lettuce, grilled squash, cherry tomatoes and herbs. Top with the goat cheese and drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Feel free to use yellow squash as well. Keep your zucchini on the small side to ensure there aren't too many seeds.
