Grilled Veggie Salad

Grilled Veggie Salad

There is an epic Grilled Veggie Sandwich on here but for those of you who prefer less carbs in the form of bread this is for you! This makes a great Summer Salad with all the grilling you’ll be doing and if not now you have the best reason to grill.

Makes one generous salad to share or not!
