    The story behind Grilled Summer Vegetables with Herb Dressing

    This recipe for Grilled Summer Vegetables with Herb Dressing I developed as a part of a Backyard Tuscan Garden Party for my client. It was published in an advertorial that appeared as a part of Gourmet Magazine’s Gourmet GuestList.com series.

    Also included on the menu was: Grilled Tuscan Bread Salad, Skewers with Italian Style Chimichurri, and Toasted Polenta Cake, with Glazed Stone Fruit and Olive Oil Vanilla Ice Cream.

    Serve with a nice chilled Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Either will be lovely with the herbs and veggies, and both are so refreshing on a warm summer day.

    Hi, I'm Lindy.

    I am a home-trained chef who loves to cook and eat delicious food. As I like to say, "Life is too short to eat mediocre food". And I find too much food out there is mediocre. I don't think good food needs to be fussy, or difficult to prepare. Most of my recipes are fresh, quick, easy, and tasty while keeping both calories and fats in check.
