An easy, 20-minute grilled summer vegetable salad with an apple mustard dipping sauce. Healthy, delicious and so easy to make!
When the warmer months roll around, I’m all about grilled veggies. I love them as salad, as snack or just as side dish with some grilled tempeh. Actually the best part is that you just grill the vegetables and decide later what you wanna do with them. For example a salad like this really pleases vegans and non-vegans: it’s actually a must at a BBQ party!
About the apple mustard sauce: It’s revolutionary! Seriously! So insanely good!
Since I don’t really have a sweet tooth, it happens often that I don’t have any sweetener at home. Like it happened a few weeks ago. I wanted to have a sweet mustard dressing for my salad but I didn’t have a drop of maple or agave anymore. I was so disappointed and I desperately wanted to have my ‘honey’-mustard taste….long story short, I noticed some apple sauce in the fridge and then magic has just happened. Since that this apple mustard sauce is a new LOVE! Try it, try it, so good!!!
