directions

Step 1

Grease grill lightly and preheat to medium-high. In a small bowl whisk the olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Put the cherry tomatoes together on 1 skewer. Thread the other skewers by alternating with remaining vegetables, according to taste. Each skewer will fit about 10-12 pieces. Lightly brush prepared skewers with olive oil mixture and set all but the cherry tomato skewer on the grill.

Step 3

Grill vegetables, turning and basting occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 10 -15 minutes. Add cherry tomato skewer to the grill during the last 3-5 minutes of cooking. Serve vegetables alone, or with pizza dip.

Step 4

Tip: To prevent wooden skewers from burning, soak for 30 minutes in warm water before threading with ingredients and setting on the grill. You could also brush vegetables with your favourite prepared vinaigrette before grilling.

Step 5

Combine ingredients together in a microwave safe bowl and cover. Microwave on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway during cooking time, until cheese is melted and dip is bubbling.

Step 6

Makes 1 1/4 cups/300 mL
