Nothing says summer quite like grilling. This fuss-free veggie dish can be prepared ahead and kept at room temperature before being tossed with the greens. While the recipe contains a relatively high percentage of calories from fat because of the olive oil, the total calorie count is still low.

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
