1 Whisk the mustard and vinegar together in a small mixing bowl. Gradually add the olive oil, whisking to combine. Add the garlic and pepper and set aside.
2 Trim the zucchini and squash, then slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks. Stand the bell peppers upright and slice away lobes from top to bottom, avoiding the stem and ribs. Break or cut off any tough bottom ends of asparagus. Trim the root ends of the green onions. Place all vegetables in a resealable plastic bag or in a large baking dish. Add the marinade to the bag or dish and toss to coat the vegetables. Marinate on the countertop for 10 to 15 minutes.
3 While the vegetables marinate, set the grill for high, direct heat and preheat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
4 Place all of the vegetables except the green onions on the grill and reserve the marinade. Season with salt and cook until tender and lightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking time and adding the scallions during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
5 Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter and top with crumbled cheese, if using. Garnish with fresh basil and serve extra dressing on the side. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
