Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the peppers, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered all over, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a medium metal or glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the asparagus, mushrooms and 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Grill the vegetables, flipping once, until they have lightly charred grill marks, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Arrange on a serving platter with the broccoli and carrots.
- When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, remove the seeds and coarsely chop the flesh. Transfer to a food processor, add the feta, yogurt, lemon juice, paprika and garlic and pulse until a thick paste starts to form. With the motor running, stream in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until you have a smooth, thick dip. Adjust the seasoning, as needed. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with the crudite.

ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER AND GARLIC DIP
This is a wonderful dip for crackers, the sweetness of the peppers is mellowed with the spicyness of the garlic. I use one fresh lime for the juice, it works fine. Very elegant looking on a cracker tray and it is also good on veggies.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better they will taste. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.

- Serve the crudite with a variety of dipping sauces: In addition to the roasted garlic and red bell pepper dip, you can also serve the crudite with other dips, such as hummus, tzatziki, or guacamole.
