Instructions

In a large bowl, combine asparagus and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the asparagus for 6 to 8 minutes and zucchini for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until tender and marked.
Once grilled, transfer the veggies to a cutting board and let cool. Then, chop them into 1-inch pieces.
For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced shallot, dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
In a serving bowl, mix the lettuce, grilled asparagus, zucchini, green onions, feta, pistachios, dill, and basil. Pour the dressing over and toss well. Garnish with lemon zest before serving.
