Separately blanch asparagus and carrots in boiling salted water. Cut carrots in half lengthwise.

Whisk together all ingredients for marinade and coat zucchini, yellow squash and red onion.

Lightly coat peppers in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Grill turning frequently until pepper is charred all around. Wrap each pepper in paper towel and set aside.

Remove vegetables from marinade; season with salt and pepper and grill on both sides until warmed through.

When peppers cool slightly, remove paper towel, carefully remove stem and seeds. Using the back of a paring knife, carefully remove skin and cut into wedges. Put all cooked vegetables into a large serving bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients drizzle a bit over vegetables. Gently toss to coat, adding more vinaigrette as desired.

Serves eight.
