Marinade for Grilled Vegetables

This makes enough marinade for 2-3 pounds of vegetables. The herbs and spices you invite are strictly up to you. It would also make a great salad dressing or dipping oil for the grilled vegetables.

1/2 Cup Olive Oil
Juice of one lemon
1 Tsp. Lemon Zest More to taste

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well blended.
Place cleaned and trimmed vegetables in a zip top bag. Pour the marinade into the bag and seal completely. Marinate for at least 4 hour or overnight. Turn the bag several times to distribute the marinade evenly.
When ready to grill, remove the veggies from the marinade shaking off the excess. Large vegetables can go directly on the grill. Asparagus and other slender items should go on a grill rack or wok. Save the marinade.
Grill until tender crisp, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. Cooking time will vary with the vegetable.
Remove the grilled vegetables to a large platter. Drizzle with a little more of the marinade and/or a Balsamic reduction. Serve.
