- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
Directions
Prep:
- If grilling outside, bring your grill to 375-400° Fahrenheit. If using an indoor grill pan, use the stovetop burner to bring the pan to medium-high heat when ready to grill.
- Cut endive heads in half.
- Cut peppers, mushrooms, and eggplant into 1/2″ slices.
- Remove stem from mushrooms and using a spoon, remove gills from mushrooms.
Make:
- Combine all dressing ingredients – olive oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and garlic if desired – into a small mason jar or container with a sealed lid. Shake until ingredients are well mixed. . Set aside.
- Brush the veggies with olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Place on the preheated grill surface and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping about halfway through. The Belgian endive, portobello, and bell pepper may be done slightly earlier than the eggplant and sweet potato.

- Remove the veggies from the grill and place on top of the bed of greens.
- Serve warm with dressing.
