I've had many a grilled veg at many a BBQ and though I like the idea of it...it's execution has always fallen short. Usually they are over cooked and under seasoned. On my own I have even struggled with the flavor and texture....and I LOVE veggies, so I know it's not because of general dislike. I stumbled upon this recipe from "The Taste of home" collection and I have to say that this really is...The Best Grilled Veggies EVER! I have taken this platter to many a function and it has gotten rave reviews. I added tofu to "beef" it up a bit... so print it out, grill it up and gobble it down! (I used my indoor grill pan for mine)

- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, divided

- 1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 medium yellow summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 medium red onion, cut into four wedges

Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the oil, honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, oregano and garlic powder. Pour 3 tablespoons marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the vegetables. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
