Prep: 20 minutes

Marinate: 30 minutes

Grill: 7 minutes

Cool: 15 minutes

Ingredients

4 medium roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 small zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 medium yellow sweet pepper, stemmed, seeded, and quartered
1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
1 recipe White Balsamic Vinaigrette
8 slices baguette-style French bread, cut 1/2 inch thick
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 10-oz. package Italian blend salad greens (romaine and radicchio)
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil
4 oz. fresh mozzarella, cut into chunks

Directions

1. Place tomatoes, zucchini, sweet pepper, and onion in a self-sealing plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Pour White Balsamic Vinaigrette over vegetables; seal bag. Turn bag to coat vegetables. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally.

2. Drain vegetables, reserving vinaigrette. For a charcoal grill, grill vegetables on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill sweet pepper and onion for 7 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning once. Grill zucchini 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning once. Grill tomatoes, skin sides down, about 5 minutes or until tomatoes soften and skins begin to char. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place vegetables on grill rack over medium heat. Cover and grill as above.) Transfer vegetables to a cutting board; cool slightly.

3. Brush baguette slices lightly with oil. Grill about 2 minutes or until light brown and crisp, turning once.

4. In a very large bowl combine salad greens and basil. Add reserved vinaigrette; toss to coat. Arrange greens on a large platter. Cut grilled zucchini and sweet peppers into bite-size pieces. Arrange grilled vegetables and mozzarella cheese on top of greens. Serve with grilled baguette slices.
