- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

- ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Method
- Preheat the grill on medium.
- Place the sausages on the grill or grill pan and cook, rotating often, until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the vegetables with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a grill basket and place on the grill. Cook, rotating the vegetables occasionally, until charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- While the sausages and vegetables cook, make the creamy dill sauce. In the base of a blender or food processor, combine the olive oil, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Slice the sausage and place on a platter along with the veggies. Drizzle with the creamy dill dressing and serve.
Notes
A grill pan is a great indoor alternative to a grill. Use it over high heat on your stovetop—just note that it won’t take quite as long to heat up as the grill!
