• 2 medium zucchini cut into ¼-inch thick lengthwise slices
• 1 yellow squash cut into ¼-inch thick lengthwise slices
• 1 red onion peeled & cut into eighths through the core
• ½ large eggplant cut into six ¼-inch slices
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 basil leaves thinly sliced

The Dressing:

• 1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• ½ teaspoon agave nectar
• 1 garlic clove grated on microplane

Instructions

The Vegetables:

• Preheat heat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
