• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

Recipe

• 1 vinaigrette -- add all the ingredients to a measuring cup and mix well.
• 2 marinade -- add all the vegetables to a small cookie sheet or casserole dish in a single layer and pour over the marinade. make sure you turn over each vegetable slice to insure that it is covered with the marinade. cover with plastic wrap and cover 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
• 3 grill -- i just spray my indoor or outdoor grill with a non stick spray, or you can even just broil on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or foil. they will take about 10-12 minutes to cook depending on your method.
• 4 serve -- each person get a tomato slice, piece of fennel, onion and mushroom. it just makes an easy and healthy side dish.
