Grilled Vegetable Platter
How to assemble the most AMAZING vegetable platter! No more sad-looking veggies, so so perfect for entertaining!
If we rewinded (rewounded???) to my childhood, I would have probably fled from this platter out of sheer terror. Running away as my life depended on it.
But now, well, you couldn’t pay me to separate myself from this. This platter and I have become besties, really.
And that vinaigrette. I’ve basically been drowning myself in it.
I mean, times have seriously changed.

Gorgeous!
Had a similar platter served with hummus at a restaurant in Phoenix. Loved it. Your presentation is beautiful.
What in heavens name is a grill basket
I never haard of it
A grill basket is used when grilling delicate foods. The food is held between hinged wire panels, keeping the food from falling apart as it is grilled. The basket is placed on the grill grate and when one side is done the basket is flipped over so the second side can be grilled. The basket has a handle attached that is used to turn the food. There are several types of baskets available for cooking different foods. You can find one on amazon or kitchen supplies stores.
This vegetable platter looks delicious. I would try this recipe this weekend. Thanks for sharing
Wow that looks fantastic!
