This herb and spice blend dressing is delicious on grilled vegetables or a traditional salad. The Tuscan Oil Blend has a medium heat because of the crushed red pepper flakes - adjust for your taste. We've listed the vegetables we used (what we had in our pantry/garden), but you can use whatever vegetables you like. Asparagus, eggplant, green onions, or bell peppers would also be delicious.
Ingredients:
- 2 Vidalia onions, halved
- 3 yellow squash (about 1 pound total), sliced lengthwise in half

Instructions:
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or heat a grill to medium-high hea). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of olive oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 7 minutes for the onion, yellow squash, zucchini, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the garlic scapes. Chop the vegetables into bite size pieces.
