Dressing/sauce for grilled veggies?

I am trying to get back into healthy eating and WW so am planning to grill a selection of lovely vegetables I have at home tonight. But what can I use to jazz them up a bit? I could roast them with a little olive oil and rosemary and garlic I guess? But thought it would be nice to use my new griddle pan and keep the oil to a minimum. Any thoughts?

I would dress them with 50/50 olive oil and lemon juice, with a bit of chopped garlic in, but that's probably not what you want to hear.

You could make a kind of garlic mayo with some greek yoghurt, garlic and a squeeze of lemons and some chives?

Olive oil is my weakness... I'm trying to cut back. But perhaps lemon juice, with a hint of oil oil and a bit of yoghurt coudl work really?

have you got an oil spray? That works quite well if you mist them with olive oil before you put them on the griddle, then you still get some of the taste.

gravy - a classic

but low salt and um, low fat, if that exists

hello Wellies!!

I used to make a dressing with (tries to remember) yoghurt, toasted/ground cumin, squeeze of lemon, and possibly some mint. Used to marinate/grill veg kebabs with it - might be nice?

Waitrose and sainsburys do a reduction of balsamic vinegar which is v v nice drizzled over roast veggies.

Am going to roast them - will be fairly stingy with the oil though. Then I can throw in lots of things like garlic and herbs and some chilli. Yum.
