This delicious summer salad is as lovely as it is tasty. Any combination of roasted vegetables is fine, the following is simply a suggestion:
 
For the Salad:
3 ripe peppers, 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 orange, cored and sliced
1 sweet onion, peeled, cut in half and sliced in 1/4″ slices
2 small zucchine squash, split lentghwise and cut in 1″ slices
8 button mushrooms, quartered
1 lb peeled jumbo shrimp
1/3 cup goat cheese, crumbled

1 tsp. honey
Freshly ground pepper
 
Grill peppers, onions and mushrooms in a basket over hot coals until onions and peppers begin to brown (approx. 45 minutes). Add zucchine slices and grill for 15-20 minutes more. Add shrimp and grill until just pink. Serve salad immediately with crunchy bread and a crisp Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. 
 
For the Dressing:
1/2 cup Casina Rossa Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Zest and juice of one large lemon
2 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp. Salt & Herb Blend by La Bella Angiolina
 
Remove zest from lemon and place in a small bowl, squeeze in lemon juice. Slowly whisk in the Casina Rossa Extra Virgin Olive Oil until it is blended and slightly thick. Add thyme, honey, Salt & Herb Blend by La Bella Angiolina and pepper to taste.

Toss hot vegetables with the Lemon-Thyme Vinaigrette and sprinkle with goat cheese crumbles. Serve with crunchy bread and a crisp Pinot Grigio or Savignon Blanc.
