== Ingredients ==
* 2 cups packed baby [[spinach]] leaves
* 2 cups sliced yellow [[summer squash]]
* 1 lb. sea [[scallops]], rinsed and patted dry, tough tendon at sides removed
* 20 [[asparagus]] spears, tough ends snapped off, cut in 2 inch lengths, about 2 cups
* 4 slices sweet [[onion]], rings separated
* 4 slices [[tomato]]
* ⅓ cup chopped fresh [[italian parsley]]
* 1 tbsp + 1 tsp dry [[white wine]] or [[vermouth]]
* ½ tsp [[salt]]
* ¼ tsp freshly ground [[black pepper]]

== Procedures ==
# Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set out two rimmed baking sheets.
# Tear off four 20 inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Fold each piece of foil crosswise like a book, then open up. Coat one half of each sheet with [[olive oil]] [[cooking spray]].
# In the center of each sprayed half, arrange the ingredients evenly divided: [[spinach]], [[summer squash]], [[scallops]], [[asparagus]], [[onion]], and [[tomato]].
# Sprinkle with [[parsley]]. Drizzle with [[vermouth]] or wine, and sprinkle with [[salt]] and [[pepper]].
# Fold the other side of the foil over the food. Crimp the edges tightly to seal. Place the packets on the baking sheets.
# Bake until the [[scallops]] are opaque in the thickest part and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
# Transfer the contents of each packet to a heated dinner plate and serve right away.
