Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 6 TBS liquid aminos
  • 3 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 eggplant, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 bunch asparagus, chopped
  • 2 small yellow squash, chopped
  • 2 small zucchini, chopped
  • 12 oz artichoke hearts
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 TBS dijon mustard
  • 1 TBS honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 heads romaine lettuce (3 if they are large), chopped
  • 1 avocado, chopped

Instructions

  1. VEGGIE MARINADE: In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of olive oil, liquid aminos, cumin, garlic powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). Whisk to combine.
  2. GRILLED VEGGIES: Place chopped veggies into a large bowl. Pour marinade over chopped veggies. Toss to ensure that all veggies are coated. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. Heat greased grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill veggies in batches until tender crisp (cooking times will vary). Set grilled veggies aside.
  3. DRESSING: In a medium bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, dijon mustard, honey and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk to combine.
  4. ASSEMBLY: Place 1/4 of chopped romaine in each of 4 bowls. Top with 1/4 of grilled veggies and chopped avocado. Toss with balsamic-dijon dressing. (NOTE: you will likely have leftover balsamic dressing, store in fridge in a sealed container).
