I love this gluten-free grilled vegetable medley because it is so easy to make, and it is packed with fresh flavor. Grilled zucchini, yellow squash and red onions make the perfect summer veggie combo! My mom made a version of this grown up, and I was always in charge of manning the grill basket to make sure the vegetables didn’t burn, which was a big task for me given that I wasn’t much of a cook. Thankfully times have changed, and my cooking skills have improved immensely! For this recipe, I ditched the grill basket in favor of getting deep grill marks on the vegetables for an added boost of flavor. To finish the dish, a splash of balsamic vinegar adds a brightness to the dish. I love pairing this gluten-free grilled vegetable medley with some kind of protein like steak or pork chops.
You might have noticed that I have been switching things up around here lately. I started my blog six years ago with the sole purpose of keeping myself accountable to eat paleo. It quickly turned into so much more, and I loved creating weekly recipes and sharing them on my blog. Over the years though, my life has become pretty hectic. Since I started my blog, I have moved 5 times with 3 of those moves being to different states. In this time, I met my husband, bought a house, got engaged then married. It has been a whirlwind few years, and I put Plaid & Paleo on the back burner simply because I was enjoying just living my life. I am still passionate about healthy food, but my focus has changed from strict paleo to more of a naturally gluten-free approach. So what does that mean for you? You will still be seeing healthy recipes on my blog, but you will also be seeing travel posts, city dining guides, home projects and more.
