Grilled Veggies with Yogurt Sauce

I think summer is finally around the corner.  This has been a long tough winter, but don’t we say that every year?  A 60 degree day in April, we’ll take it.  Fire up your grill; this can be a main course or a side for a crowd with burgers and brats.  The yogurt sauce and pitas make it a little Greek inspired and you can use any vegetables you like.  A bed of quinoa or another grain could be added to round out the meal.
