Directions

Combine the oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.  Place zucchini, tomato, onion, mushroom, and bell peppers into a large ziplock bag.  Pour marinade over vegetables and shake gently to coat all fo the vegetables.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hour or overnight.

​

Thread onto skewers, alternating between vegetables and sausage.

​

Grill over an open flame until vegetables are tender and sausage is hot in the middle, rotating occasionally, for about 10 minutes.

​

Meanwhile, melt butter in a double boiler.  Add heavy cream, onion powder, garlic powder, and blue cheese.  Stir until well combined.  Season to taste with salt and white pepper.

​

Stir cornstarch into cold water, then add to bleu cheese sauce, whisking constantly until the sauce has thickened.  *If it gets too thick, add cream to thin it back out.  If it is too      thin add more cornstarch.

​

Serve Skewers over rice or pasta, drizzled with sauce or with a side of the sauce for dipping.
