Grilled Summer Vegetable Medley
Grilling is a great way to enhance the natural sweetness of a summer garden vegetable. For best results, cut each vegetable to a uniform thickness and angle your cuts to ensure the largest surface area possible. They make a great companion to any grilled main course!!
I also included a recipe for an herb butter that will REALLY set off the flavors well!
For these tasty vegetables, I HIGHLY recommend finishing them off with Hawaiian Black Lava Salt! It adds a unique flavor that can’t be found with sea or kosher salts. It’s not VITAL to the recipe, but it sure tastes amazing!!
