Ingredients

Vegetable Skewers

  • 1 large zucchini, sliced on diagonal (about ¼ inch)
  • 2 ed, yellow, or orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced into 1 inch wide strips
  • 4 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced in half
  • ½ medium red onion, wedged
  • 2 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Basil Vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • coarse salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill. Prepare it by brushing the grill lightly with oil so the food won’t stick. Add the vegetables to the grill (in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Grill on medium-high heat about 3 minutes per side or longer depending on the how soft you like your vegetables.
  • While the vegetables cook, add vinaigrette ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. You will have extra basil vinaigrette so check out that post for ways to use it up.
  • Add the cooked mixed vegetables to a serving platter. Drizzle with half the basil vinaigrette and leave the rest for guests to add more if desired.

Notes

Serving note: Skewer the vegetables before or after grilling to make it easy for guests to grab and go.
