Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the asparagus and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the veggies on the grill, zucchini cut side down. Grill asparagus for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping once, until charred but bright green. Grill zucchini for 3 to 4 minutes per side until tender with grill marks.
Transfer the grilled vegetables to a cutting board and allow to cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
To make the dressing, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, minced shallot, dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
In a large serving bowl, mix together the lettuce, grilled asparagus and zucchini, green onions, feta, pistachios, dill, and basil. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine. Top with lemon zest and serve.
