• 1T extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

• Puree until smooth.
• Add to veggies and toss well to incorporate.

Comments

• Take care not to over cook the veggies. Looking for the grilled flavor but not cooked all the way through.
• Home grown tomato will be best in the dressing if possible.
• Serve with your next cookout! There seems to always be a little heat left on the grill to throw a few veggies on after the steaks have cooked. 
• Quick and easy, but a great way to enjoy all those summer veggies. Thanks to Chef Jesse for sharing!
