GRILLED VEGETABLE PACKETS

Serving size: 3/4 cup
Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients:
2 zucchinis, small sliced
2 yellow squash, small sliced
4 red potatoes, small scrubbed well and sliced
1/2 red onion sliced
1/2 bell pepper (red or green) seeded and sliced
1/4 cup Italian salad dressing, light to taste salt and pepper

Instructions:
1. Heat grill to Medium heat or 350 degrees.
2. Wash vegetables and slice.
3. Toss in a large bowl. Add dressing and toss until all vegetables are coated.
4. Tear 2 large squares of aluminum foil and place half of the vegetable mixture on each piece. Place an equal piece of foil over the top of vegetable mixture and fold bottom piece with top sheet to form a packet.
5. Place on heated grill for 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. If you don't have a grill bake Veggie Packets in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
6. Before you open the packets, poke holes in the foil with a fork. Be very careful opening the foil as the steam will be very hot and could burn you!
7. Empty vegetables onto serving plate or serve from foil packets.

Tip! Try different vegetables - Tomatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, corn or your favorites.

Use herbs or spices in place of dressing - Chili powder, Italian or oriental seasoning, basil, oregano, curry powder - Be creative!
