Ingredients
Instructions
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Pour the dressing over the grilled vegetables and toss gently to coat all the vegetables with the dressing.
-
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.
