• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 8 oz baby portobello mushrooms
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Step 1

Wash and dry all vegetables.

Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/4-inch thick round slices.
