METHOD
TO MAKE THE SALAD
Preheat your grill to 375°F (190°C). Grill the squash, radishes, bell peppers, corn ears, and red pearl onions for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until tender and grill marks appear. Take the vegetables off the grill and place them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 45 minutes, or until completely cold. While the dressing is chilling, proceed to the next step.
TO MAKE THE DRESSING
In a small bowl, vigorously whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, dried basil, and salt until combined and creamy.
TO ASSEMBLE
Distribute the dressing among four 24-oz. (710 ml) jars, then top with kidney beans. Remove the corn cobs and chop the large pepper pieces. Combine them with the squash, radishes, and pearl onions in a mixing bowl. Toss until well combined. Finally, top the kidney beans with the grilled vegetable mixture and mixed greens. Put a tight-fitting lid on each jar. When you're ready to serve, gently shake the jar to coat everything in the dressing, then empty into a bowl. Chill before serving.
