- Salad
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian herb mixture
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup sliced eggplant
- 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
- 1/2 cup sliced yellow squash
- 1 cup sliced red or yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup sliced red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

- Preheat oven to 375u0b0. Combine first 4 ingredients (through vinegar) in a small bowl; set aside.
- Place the vegetables (eggplant through red onion) in an even layer on a large baking pan. Brush vegetables on both sides with marinade; sprinkle with sea salt, then place on prepared grill.
- Grill for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned, brushing with marinade, as needed. Turn vegetables occasionally to brown all sides; when cooked, remove from heat and cut into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- Place bread slices on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake for 4-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and rub bread with garlic cloves. Set aside.
- Combine cheeses, parsley, cayenne, and mustard in a medium bowl. Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over toast. Return toast to oven, and bake for 5 minutes more or until cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Divide greens among 4 plates. Top with grilled vegetables, and serve with 1 Gruyere toast.
