DRESSING

(DRESSING): In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, chopped oregano and basil, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper.

Cut eggplant into ¼ inch thick slices. Lightly brush eggplant and zucchini with some of the dressing; place on greased grill over medium-high heat. Grill zucchini for 5 to 6 minutes and eggplant for 10 to 15 minutes, basting with dressing and turning occasionally, or until vegetables are tender.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook beans for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. With slotted spoon or tongs, remove to colander; refresh under cold water and drain well.

Add asparagus to pot. Cook for about 3 minutes or until tender-crisp; drain and refresh under cold water. Drain again.

Brush tomatoes with 2 tbsp. of the dressing; toss beans, asparagus, and green pepper (if using) with remaining dressing. Decoratively arrange over platter along with grilled eggplant and zucchini. Garnish with basil, oregano and peas. Makes 6 servings. Typed in MMFormat by cjhartlin.msn@... Source: Canadian Living's Best Vegetables.
