Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and trim the zucchini. Slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Core the red and yellow bell peppers and cut them into thick strips.
Peel the red onion and slice it into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Rinse the asparagus and snap off the tough ends.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried oregano. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Add the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Carefully place the vegetables on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they have nice grill marks and are tender-crisp. Cherry tomatoes may need less time, about 2 minutes.
Remove the grilled vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the grilled vegetables.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze fresh juice over the vegetables before serving.
Serve the low sodium grilled vegetable medley warm as a healthy side dish.
