Tasty Tuesday - Grilled Zucchini & Red Onion with Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette

I will no longer grill vegetables withOUT putting this vinaigrette on them. SO GOOD. We also added some baby bella's onto the skewers for more of a veggie variety. :) Enjoy!



Grilled Zucchini and Red Onion with Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette

Recipe and photo found on Confections of a Foodie Bride.

1 lb zucchini, sliced into 1/3-inch rounds

1 red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp olive oil

Salt

Pepper

1 clove garlic, minced

Zest and juice from 1/2 lemon

1 tsp spicy brown mustard

3-4 large basil leaves, chopped

Heat grill to medium.

 

Carefully thread the onion rounds onto skewers (this will keep them in tact as rounds while grilling), making sure the skewer goes through every onion ring.

 

Brush onions and zucchini rounds with 1/4 cup olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.

 

Grill vegetables 9-10 minutes each side, until nicely caramelized.

 

In a small bowl, whisk garlic, lemon juice, zest, mustard, oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper together.

Place cooked vegetables on a platter, drizzle with dressing, and top with chopped basil leaves.
