2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Brush vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Grill vegetables over a medium-hot fire: mushrooms about 4 minutes a side, squash 2 to 3 minutes a side, and scallions about 3 minutes.  When grilled, arrange vegetables over greens and drizzle with orange vinaigrette.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Serves four as a lunch or light dinner, eight as an appetizer.
