GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH FRESH HERB VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk shallot, red wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, chives, cilantro, and dill together in a large bowl. Slowly stream olive oil into the mixture while whisking vigorously until the oil is incorporated into a smooth and creamy dressing.
• Arrange asparagus, corn, zucchini, yellow squash, green onions, bell pepper, and red onion onto baking sheets. Brush olive oil onto all the vegetables to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Cook vegetables directly on preheated grill, turning frequently, until slightly charred and just tender, about 5 minutes for green onions, 8 minutes for asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and red onion, and 10 minutes for corn. Remove vegetables to the baking sheets used for preparation and cool.
• Cut asparagus, green onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper crosswise into 1-inch pieces and put into a large bowl. Quarter red onion slices; add to bowl. Cut corn kernels from cobs; add to bowl. Let vegetables cool to room temperature.
• Drizzle vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat.

PICKLED BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Wash broccoli and cauliflower very well and cut into florets. Discard harder parts such as stems or logs.
• If you have a steamer, steam them for about 15 minutes, they should not be fully cooked, because the vinegar will provide an additional degree of cooking. If you don't have a steamer, place the vegetables in a pot and cover them with water, up to a finger above them. Cook them for about 15 minutes. In either case, you must stop cooking, so that the vegetables maintain their bright color, so by placing the vegetables on a colander and under the cold tap water, they will keep their colors more vivid.
• Place the vegetables in the glass container where you will leave the pickles, add the water, vinegar, pepper, and salt.
• Finally, place this preparation in a water bath, when the water is boiling, close tightly the glass container, and turn off the stove.

• Meanwhile, in a large deep-sided saucepan, heat safflower oil over medium. Add onion and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing.

Season with salt and pepper.
