Instructions
Add all dressing ingredients to blender and blend on medium-high for 1 to 2 minutes or until dressing is smooth and all ingredients have been incorporated. Taste, add more salt or pepper to your liking. Pour into a glass container and store in refrigerator for up to one week.
Wash vegetables. Cut stems off mushrooms. Cut seeds and white core out of peppers, then cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces. Cut zucchini and summer squash horizontally into 1/2 inch pieces. Cut the ends off onion, and peel. Cut onion in half and then cut each half in half, then quarter each half leaving you with 8 pieces. Pull onion apart into sections.
Take wooden skewers that have soaked in water and start with a piece of pepper alternating vegetables and ending with a piece of pepper. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat grill to medium high heat. Grill skewers for five minutes on each side.
Remove to a platter and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with dressing and serve with a small bowl of Green Goddess Dressing for dipping.
