Charred Vegetable & Lentil Antipasto Salad

Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients

whole medium red bell peppers, halved, cleaned 
whole medium zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick lengthwise 
whole large Portobello mushrooms, gills and stem removed 
1 cup cooked or canned green lentils, drained and rinsed 250 ml
  Dressing  
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar  60 ml
2 Tbsp canola oil  15 ml
1 tsp honey 5 ml
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves 10 ml
  salt and ground black pepper, to taste   

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat your grill to 400° F (200° C). For the dressing: whisk all ingredients together and set aside. 

Step 2
Toss the halved peppers, sliced zucchini, and whole mushrooms with half of the dressing and drain off excess to prevent unnecessary flames. 

Step 3
Place all vegetables on the grill and grill for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until they reach desired tenderness. It is better to have the vegetables slightly underdone. 

Step 4
Slice the peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini into strips. Toss the lentils and vegetables with desired amount of reserved dressing. Serve warm or cooled.
