Ingredients

    2 whole medium red bell peppers, halved, cleaned

    1 whole medium zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick lengthwise

    2 whole large Portobello mushrooms, gills and stem removed

    1 cup (250 mL) cooked or canned green lentils, drained and rinsed

    Dressing

    1/4 cup (60 mL) balsamic vinegar

    2 tbsp (15 mL) canola oil

    1 tsp (5 mL) honey

    2 tsp (10 mL) fresh thyme leaves

    salt and ground black pepper, to taste


Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to 400°F. For the dressing: whisk all ingredients together and set aside.
  2. Toss the halved peppers, sliced zucchini, and whole mushrooms with half of the dressing and drain off excess to prevent unnecessary flames.
  3. Place all vegetables on the grill and grill for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until they reach desired tenderness. It is better to have the vegetables slightly underdone.
  4. Slice the peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini into strips. Toss the lentils and vegetables with desired amount of reserved dressing. Serve warm or cooled.
