Make Vinaigrette: Mix minced shallot with salt and vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit until you finish grilling the vegetables before adding the remaining ingredients. 
 
Grill Vegetables:  Prep the eggplant, zucchini and red peppers to be grilled. Heat a grill pan over 2 burners. Working in batches, toss in a mixing bowl each type of prepped vegetable with part of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill until tender and set aside on a sheet tray. Continue until all vegetables are grilled. Cut the vegetables into half or thirds, depending on size, and put in a large mixing bowl. Add the arugula and cherry tomatoes, but do not mix. Set aside.
 
Make Gremolata: Zest lemon and add to minced parsley, garlic and salt into a bowl. Add pine nuts, raisins and olive oil and mix.
 
Finish Vinaigrette: Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the shallot mixture. Toss with the vegetables and plate.  Sprinkle gremolata over plated salad and serve.
