Marinated Summer Veggies with Chicken Sausage

Marinated Summer Veggies with Chicken Sausage (adapted from Team Beachbody)

1 Tbsp. olive oil
3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Sea salt (or Himalayan salt) and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)
1 lb. green beans, ends removed
2 medium zucchini, sliced
2 medium summer (crookneck) squash, sliced
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red onion, sliced
4 cooked chicken sausages, sliced
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil

Preparation:

To make marinade, combine oil, vinegar, lime juice, and garlic in a medium bowl; whisk to blend. Season with salt and pepper, if desired; whisk to blend. Set aside.

Place green beans, zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion in a re-sealable plastic bag (or large bowl). Add marinade; shake to blend. Let sit for 30 minutes.

Preheat grill or broiler to high.

Place veggie mixture on a large sheet pan (or broiler pan). Add sausages; mix well. Spread out evenly. Grill or broil for 8 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.

Sprinkle with basil before serving.

Tips:
• Look for all-natural chicken sausage that does not have preservatives and is not high in sodium.
• You can start with raw or cooked sausage, just make sure it’s cooked when you add it to the veggies.
