Ingredients
- 2 pounds zucchini or yellow squash (or a combination), cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 bell pepper yellow, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 bell pepper red, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 bell pepper orange, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 10-12 tomato small, large cherry tomatoes work best
- 1/3 cup pesto use or make dairy-free pesto to make this dish vegan/parve - use parmesan with a vegetarian rennet to make vegetarian, homemade or store bought
- 2 tablespoons olive oil use olive oil to make vegan/parve, or melted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- salt to taste
Instructions
- If you are using wooden skewers and you have the time, soak them in water for 1-2 hours prior to cooking; this will keep them from singeing on the grillIn a very large salad bowl, combine the pesto, olive oil or butter, lemon juice and lemon zest. Whisk until combined. Add salt to taste.
- Throw in the vegetable chunks and tomatoes. Toss with a large spoon until all of the veggies are evenly coated with pesto. Cover bowl, place in the refrigerator, and allow the vegetables to marinate for 2 hours up to overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Skewer the vegetables, portioning about 6 pieces of of squash, 6 pieces of pepper, and one tomato in the center of each skewer. You'll end up with about 10 skewers total (this may vary slightly based on the sizes of your chopped fresh vegetables).
- Grill the skewers for about 20-25 minutes, giving them a quarter turn every 5 minutes, until the largest pieces of zucchini are tender and the skewers are lightly charred.
- Serve warm.
