Ingredients

  • 2 small zucchini sliced lengthwise
  • 2 small summer squash sliced lengthwise
  • 1 red onion chopped in large 2-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped in large 2-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow or orange bell pepper chopped in large 2-inch pieces
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 4 oz goat cheese or feta cheese crumbled

Basil Dressing

  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ¼ cup basil leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium heat.
  • Drizzle all chopped vegetables with olive oil so they are lightly coated. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Grill vegetables on each side for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred. Remove from the grill.
  • Arrange vegetables and olives on a platter and drizzle with basil dressing (instructions below) and top with crumbled goat or feta cheese.

To make basil dressing

  • Combine all ingredients in a small jar or bowl. Use immediately.

Notes

NOTES

  • Make sure you chop all ingredients large enough to not fall through the grates of your grill, or use a grill basket.
  • To make ahead: Assemble platter and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for up to several hours. Serve chilled or bring to room temperature.
