    1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive_oil
    1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper

In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, pesto, oil and pepper; set aside.

Cut eggplant and zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. Place eggplant, zucchini and yellow pepper on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until tender-crisp, about 10 minutes.
