Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound small fingerling potatoes (such as Russian Banana), unpeeled, halved lengthwise

- Arrange potatoes in single layer in grill basket. Grill until tender, 5 minutes per side. Transfer to large bowl. Grill squash and bell pepper until tender, turning occasionally, 10 minutes. Transfer squash to bowl with potatoes. Cut bell pepper into 1-inch pieces; add to vegetables. Add vinaigrette; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
