Method

  • Cut the vegetables into reasonably sized pieced suitable for grilling. Asparagus for example should remain whole whereas capsicums should be cut into lengths and left about 4 cm wide.
  • Toss with olive oil to coat and season with salt.
  • Prepare the dressing by mixing the finely chopped parsley, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium high heat, about 190 degrees until tender, about 10 minutes on all sides. (Monitor as different vegetables cook at different speeds.)
  • Remove from the grill and drizzle with the dressing.
  • Serve either warm or at room temperature.

Tip: As the vegetables cool they will release oils and liquid that will amplify the flavour of your dressing.

Tip: Add a clove of pressed garlic to the dressing for an extra zing!
