Instructions

In a large bowl, combine asparagus and zucchini, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the vegetables on the grill, cut side of zucchini facing down. Grill asparagus for 6-8 minutes until charred but bright green, turning once. Grill zucchini for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender with grill marks.
Remove grilled vegetables and let them cool on a cutting board. Once cooled, cut into 1-inch pieces.
To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
In a large serving bowl, mix chopped butter lettuce with grilled asparagus, zucchini, green onions, feta, pistachios, dill, and basil. Drizzle with dressing and toss the salad gently. Garnish with lemon zest and serve.
