GRILLED VEGETABLE PLATTER

I've come a long way since childhood.  Yes, I have.

There was a time I would never have looked twice at this platter, crinkling up my nose.

But not today.

I've changed.

You couldn't drag me away from these now.

And the vinaigrette... let's just say I could bathe in it!

Summer Fresh Recipe Series




Grilled Vegetable Platter


VEGETABLES
5-6 Campari tomatoes
3-4 large carrots, peeled
1 bunch large asparagus, wooden ends removed
1-2 zucchinis, cut on the bias
1-2 yellow summer squash, cut on the bias

FOR THE VINAIGRETTE
1/4 cup olive oil
Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
Tbsp Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
Tbsp fresh basil, chopped, plus whole leaves for garnish
Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Tbsp fresh sage, chopped
Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat grill to medium high heat.

In a medium bowl stir together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette.  Brush all sides of the vegetables with some of the vinaigrette and allow to marinate for about 10 minutes. 

Grill vegetables straight on the grill until tender crisp and they have good grill marks on them, turning over as needed.  About 10 minutes.

Remove from grill to a platter and drizzle with some of the remaining vinaigrette.  Serve immediately.
