Grilled Salad

Wash, dry, cut into lengthwise pieces 1/4" - 3/8" thick:

Charring the vegetables brings out their natural sweet flavors.
(These veggies were grilled in a hot dry skillet.)
 6 small zucchini squash
 6 yellow crook neck squash
 2 red bell peppers
 10 asparagus spears


Grill on medium heat. Lay vegetables onto the grill and grill them on one side until they begin to char. Turn them over and char the other side.

In the mean time:
Boil, drain and put into a large bowl and set aside:

 2 cups (dry) tiny bowtie pasta

Chop coarsley and set aside:

 1 red onion (optional)

Remove cooked vegetables. They will look withered and rather dry. That's perfect! Lay them onto a cooling rack. When cooled, chop them into big bite sized pieces.
A grill basket holds the veggies in place and makes turning them over quite easy.

Add the chopped grilled vegetables to the bowtie pasta along with the optional chopped raw onion.

Add

 Wishbone Italian House Dressing.

The withered and rather dry vegetables will absorb the dressing, therefore, add a bit more than you would normally use.

Toss, cover, refrigerate overnight, or at least until thoroughly cold.

 Sprinkle with Feta Cheese, fresh Ground Pepper, Bacon pieces, etc.
