Grilled and lightly dressed summer vegetables are equally delicious served warm or at room temperature. Red or yellow peppers (or a combination) add colour. Leftovers make terrific sandwiches the next day.

Balsamic Dressing:
1/3 cup (75 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp (45 mL) white balsamic or balsamic vinegar
1 tsp (5 mL) minced fresh oregano or rosemary

Cut onion into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick rings; skewer to keep rings intact. Set aside on plate.
