Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle the eggplant slices, zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion wedges with olive oil. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano.

  2. Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender. You may need to cook the vegetables in batches, depending on the size of your grill.

  3. While the vegetables are grilling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Once the vegetables are grilled to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly. Cut the eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Place all the grilled vegetables in a large serving bowl.

  5. Pour the dressing over the grilled vegetables and toss gently to coat all the vegetables with the dressing.

  6. Let the salad sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley before serving.
