GRILLED VEGGIES WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

I make this healthy and inviting side dish whenever friends come over for a cookout. The honeyed vinaigrette really lets the veggies shine.

PREP: 20 MIN. GRILL: 15 MIN. MAKES: 10 SERVINGS (3/4 CUP EACH)


1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1. In a small bowl, whisk the first five ingredients. Gradually whisk in oils until blended.

Grill zucchini, squash and peppers, covered, over medium heat 10-15 minutes or until crisp-tender and lightly charred, turning once. Grill green onions, covered, 2-4 minutes or until lightly charred, turning once.
