1

In large nonmetal dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix vegetables and dressing; turn to coat.
2

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove vegetables from marinade. Place vegetables in grill basket (grill “wok”). Place on grill over medium-high heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.

Sprinkle with cheese and basil.

Mushroom lovers can add 1 or 2 cups sliced mushrooms and a few tablespoons more dressing to the vegetable mixture.
For extra flavor and do-ahead convenience, refrigerate the bag of vegetables and dressing up to 4 hours before grilling.
