Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Place the vegetables directly on the grill grates or use a grill basket. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Once the grilled vegetables are slightly cooled, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
- If desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the vegetable mix before grilling.
- You can substitute any of your favorite vegetables, such as asparagus or mushrooms, for a different taste.
