Straight from the garden to the grill. From fresh to charred to dipped into a yummy sumac yogurt dip. That’s how I’m finishing off my summer veggies this year.
With an abundance of eggplant, zucchini, summer squashes, banana peppers, tomatoes, red onions, and more, I’m slicing the garden veggies up, coating them lightly with olive oil, and tossing them on the fire to make a fun, healthy meal of Grilled Summer Vegetables with a Sumac Yogurt Dip.
With the vegetables roasting on the grill, stir together creamy yogurt with the punchy, tart spice of Sumac Berry Powder. Along with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and some freshly minced garlic, you have an addicting Middle Eastern inspired dip for grilled vegetables…and maybe for a handful of potato chips while you’re waiting for the veggies to cook.
Once the vegetables are tender and nicely charred, pile them up on a big platter, and serve along with the sumac yogurt dip and thick slices of grilled flat bread.
