This is a great weeknight or any time menu. We used a sweet Italian sausage but agreed that next time we might want to add some med-hot sausage, but that's just us. I got the veggies, sausage and bread ready for the grill and made the dressing while Ron got the grill ready. Then, I got to sit back while he worked his magic.
Ron especially liked the way the onions turned out. He got those nice skewers like Blane has and loves using them. The timing for each item was perfect. This was the first time we "charred" a pepper like that and the method works well. We followed each step exactly and everything was done just right. We let everything cool down for a few minutes before assembling the salad.
One word of caution. With the grilled baguettes, a little garlic goes a long way. We loved this dish and will probably have it again several times over the summer. We didn't make the cocktail but did make the Strawberry and Pineapple Trifles and thought those were delish. Will make those again, too!
Sorry, no pics. I completely forgot, but Trixxee graciously agreed to take some for me.
