Ingredients

  • 2 medium Zucchini
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 large Yellow Bell Pepper
  • 1 medium Red Onion
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and dry all the vegetables. Cut the eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers into 1/2-inch thick slices. Slice the red onion into wedges. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Marinate the Vegetables

In a large bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

Grill the Vegetables

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables in batches, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks. This should take about 3-5 minutes per side. The cherry tomatoes can be grilled quickly, just until they start to soften and blister.

Assemble the Salad

Once the vegetables are grilled, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and balsamic glaze. Gently toss to combine.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish the salad with fresh chopped basil. Serve immediately while the vegetables are still warm. This salad can also be served at room temperature.
