Ingredients

1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (16-ounce) box Mrs. T's Classic Onion Pierogies (no need to thaw)
10 ounces fully cooked chicken apple sausage, sliced
2 cups sliced zucchini
2 cups sliced yellow squash
2 cups corn kernels (preferably fresh, but frozen will work as well)
1 large red bell pepper, cored and sliced

Instructions

Heat a grill to medium heat (350°F to 450°F). Prepare 4 (12x14-inch) sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil or double layers of regular foil and set aside.
Place 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley, 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 large minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and several grinds black pepper in a small jar. Screw lid tightly into place and shake until the dressing is well-combined and emulsified. Alternately, you can whisk everything together in a bowl. Set aside.
Empty 1 (16-ounce) box Mrs. T’s Classic Onion Pierogies (no need to thaw) into a large bowl. Add 10 ounces sliced fully cooked chicken apple sausage, 2 cups sliced zucchini, 2 cups sliced yellow squash, 2 cups corn kernels, 1 sliced large red bell pepper, and the lemon and parsley dressing. Toss to combine.
Evenly divide pierogies and vegetable mixture between the 4 pieces of foil. For each, bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal. Then fold the sides towards the center, making sure to leave room for steam. Place foil packets on prepared grill. Grill for 8 minutes and then turn and grill for another 8 minutes.
