8 to 10 servingsIngredients
4 pounds fresh, seasonal vegetables suitable for grilling (zucchini, summer squash, onions, fennel, eggplant, carrots, beets, peppers, portobello mushrooms)
2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup spicy mustard

Instructions
Clean, trim, and peel vegetables. Slice the larger ones (such as squash and eggplant), into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Skewer small vegetables and onions. Place in two extra-large Ziploc freezer bags. Combine remaining ingredients and divide between the two bags. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Grill carrots, fennel, peppers, and onions 20 to 25 minutes. Grill eggplant slices 10 minutes. Grill zucchini, summer squash, portobello mushrooms 5 to 7 minutes.
