Recipe: Easy Summer Vegetables

I love this time of year as the fresh veggies begin pouring in from the garden.  It has been wonderful eating the vegetables and finding great ways to eat them.  One of our family’s favorite ways to enjoy them is on the grill.  Our family has tried many different vegetable recipes and this is my favorite because it is so easy and quick.  It’s a great recipe to use when you have guests coming over for dinner. You can use a variety of fresh vegetables.  I like to use the fresh veggies that we have in the fridge put into the recipe but you really can use any ones that you enjoy.

Easy Summer Vegetables:

• 1 cup sliced Carrots
• 1 cup sliced Zucchini
• 1 cup sliced Summer Squash
• 1 cup sliced Tomatoes
• 1 cup fresh Mushrooms
• 1/2 cup sliced Onions
• 1/4 cup Italian Dressing

Slice the vegetables into 1 inch pieces and put them into a bowl.  Pour 1/4 cup of Italian Dressing over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated.  You can add a little more or less dressing depending on the amount of vegetables you want.  Let them marinate for a few minutes, pour them onto the vegetable grate on the  grill, cook until tender but still crisp.

You can add whatever vegetables you want and substitute, for example if you do not have zucchini but have asparagus or peppers add a cup of them instead.  The vegetables have great flavor and are a hit throughout the grilling season.
