This recipe stems from a vegetable medley side dish I started making during my first maternity leave more than 10 years ago. It was inspired by a Food & Drink Magazine recipe (LCBO’s free in-store publication) that featured meat paired with a grilled vegetable medley. Naturally I skipped the meat and started adapting the recipe to make a lovely veggie side dish that could be made in under 20 minutes. The combination of rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, cumin and salt lends a bold flavour to the grilled veggies you will fall for. This is one of those recipes deserving of customizing….play around with the  veggies used and ratio of vinegar to cumin used to make this your own.
