lemonized grilled veggies

One of my favorite things about summer is grilling. And nothing is as good on the grill as veggies (I mean, steak is obviously the best, but veggies are a very close second). This recipe flavors the vegetables up front while also creating a dressing to toss them in after they've been grilled.

3-4 rainbow peppers

1 zucchini

1 summer squash

1 onion

2 lemons

1/4 - 1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 tbsp spice mixture

The original recipe I found for this used harissa as the spice mixture, but we didn't have any on hand so we used a signature blend of spices from a shop in St. Augustine, FL - anything flavorful will work.

Cut the vegetables into large chunks (so they don't fall through the grill grates). Cut 1 lemon in half lengthwise. Place everything in one large bowl. 

Whisk together juice of second lemon, olive oil and spice mixture to create a dressing. Pour over vegetables and mix to coat.

Grill veggies, including the cut lemon, over high heat until the zucchini and squash are soft and the skin of the peppers has blackened.

Return grilled veggies to bowl with leftover dressing, squeeze juice of grilled lemon over everything and mix to coat one more time. Serve.
