Why try? The freshest flavors of the season are the focus of this salad, which can be a refreshing lunch or comforting, end-of-the-day dinner.

Foodie Byte: Any grill can be used for this salad. If you have an outdoor grill, you will achieve a smokier, charred flavor, but you can also get great results with a grill pan indoors.
