Balsamic Grilled Sausage and Summer

Vegetables

Ingredients

·         2 med. zucchini (about 10 oz.), halved lengthwise

·         2 med. yellow squash (about 10 oz.), halved lengthwise

·         4 plum tomatoes, halved

·         1 med. eggplant (about 8 oz.), quartered lengthwise

·         2 tbsp. olive oil

·         kosher salt

·         black pepper

·         8 sm. sausage links (about 1 1/2 lb. total)

·         2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

·         Small fresh basil leaves, for serving

Directions

1.       Heat grill to medium-high. Brush the cut sides of the zucchini squash, tomatoes, and eggplant with the oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

2.      Grill the sausages, covered, turning occasionally and brushing with 1 tablespoon vinegar, until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Grill the vegetables until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side (1 minute for the tomatoes); transfer to a cutting board.

3.      Cut the grilled vegetables into 1 1/2 inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Toss with the remaining tablespoon vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold in the basil, if desired. Serve with the sausages.
