Grilled Vegetable Salsa

1. Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/8 cup of olive oil to coat lightly. Grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 4 to 8 minutes. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they’ve been placed on the hot grill.

2. Finish the vegetables by pureeing them in the blender. Pour the puree into a large bowl.

3. Add the diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serve with oven-warmed tortilla chips.
