1 1/2CupsAsparagus, broken into large pieces
1 1/2CupsCups Zucchini, sliced (about 1 large zucchini)
1/2CupRed onion, roughly chopped
1/4CupBalsamic Vinegar
2tspOil from a jar of oil-packed sun dried tomatoes
Pinch of salt/pepper
1/2tspCapers,plus more for garnish

2TbspSun dried-tomatoes, roughly chopped, plus additional for garnish. (optional)
1/4CupReduced-fat Feta cheese, crumbled
Fresh basil, minced (for garnish)
Instructions
Add the sliced roasted red pepper, asparagus, sliced zucchini and chopped red onion into a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ¼ cup Balsamic vinegar, 2 tsps oil and pinch of salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables, mixing well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Once the vegetables have marinated, preheat your grill to medium/high heat and place a grill basket on top.
Place the vegetables into the grill basket, reserving the balsamic vinegar mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred.
While the vegetables grill, combine the reserved Balsamic Vinegar mixture with ½ tsp capers, ½ tsp garlic and sun dried tomatoes in a small food processor. Process until well combined (you may still have some small tomato chunks – this is fine.)
Place the grilled veggies in a bowl and toss with the balsamic vinaigrette. Garnish with additional sun dried tomatoes, capers, crumbled feta cheese and fresh basil.
