    grape tomatoes
  • scallions or spring onions
  • 2 tablespoons
    chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon
    chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon
    chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • medium yellow tomato

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the penne until it is firm to the bite- al dente. Do not overcook it.
  2. Drain, rinse in cool water, and drain well. Drizzle with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and toss gently to coat. Place in a large salad bowl.
  3. In the meantime, heat the grill or grill pan to medium heat.
  4. Grill the zucchini, asparagus spears, grape tomatoes and scallions until tender but still firm. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  5. Make your dressing by combining the vegan mayo, olive oil, lemon juice or rice vinegar, garlic and dill. Set aside.
  6. When the veggies are cool enough to handle, slice the zucchini into half moons. Slice the asparagus spears into bite size lengths. Slice up two of the scallions.
  7. Add the zucchini, asparagus, sliced scallions, and grilled grape tomatoes to the cooked pasta. Add the chopped fresh herbs. Add the dressing.
  8. Gently toss.
  9. Serve with wedges of fresh yellow tomato for a splash of sunny color, and grilled scallions.
