Ingredients

1 shallot, minced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
10 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed to 5 inches
2 ears corn, husked
2 zucchini, halved lengthwise
2 yellow squash, halved lengthwise
1 bunch green onions, tops trimmed a few inches
1 large red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into 4 sections and seeded
1 large red onion, sliced thickly
¼ cup olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Whisk shallot, red wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, chives, cilantro, and dill together in a large bowl. Slowly stream olive oil into the mixture while whisking vigorously until the oil is incorporated into a smooth and creamy dressing.
Arrange asparagus, corn, zucchini, yellow squash, green onions, bell pepper, and red onion onto baking sheets. Brush olive oil onto all the vegetables to coat; season with salt and pepper.
Cook vegetables directly on preheated grill, turning frequently, until slightly charred and just tender, about 5 minutes for green onions, 8 minutes for asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and red onion, and 10 minutes for corn. Remove vegetables to the baking sheets used for preparation and cool.
Cut asparagus, green onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper crosswise into 1-inch pieces and put into a large bowl. Quarter red onion slices; add to bowl. Cut corn kernels from cobs; add to bowl. Let vegetables cool to room temperature.
Drizzle vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat.

Tips:

Use the freshest herbs possible. The flavor of your vinaigrette will be best if the herbs are fresh and fragrant.

Choose herbs that complement the other ingredients in your salad. For example, basil and oregano go well with tomatoes, while cilantro and mint pair nicely with cucumbers.

Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is the base of your vinaigrette, so it's important to use a good one. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.

Whisk the dressing until it is well combined. This will help to emulsify the oil and vinegar, making a smooth and creamy dressing.

Taste the dressing before using it. Adjust the seasonings to your liking, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.

Store the dressing in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake the dressing well before using.

Conclusion:

A fresh herb vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy dressing that will add flavor and freshness to your next salad.
