1/2 pounds small red potatoes

1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Grill, covered, over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Chop onion. Place onion and potatoes in bowl.

NOTE If you do not have a grilling grid, use a disposable foil pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the pan with a meat fork to allow any liquid to drain.
