Ingredients
  

1 cup bell peppers (a mix of red, yellow, and green), sliced into thin strips

1 cup zucchini, sliced into rounds and then halved

1 cup carrots, julienned into thin matchsticks

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup snap peas, trimmed of their ends

1 cup broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced finely

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Begin by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips, the zucchini into rounds before halving them, and julienne the carrots into thin matchsticks. Halve the cherry tomatoes, trim the ends of the snap peas, and separate the broccoli into small florets.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, pour in the olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers nicely.

      Cook the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.

        Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Toss in the sliced red onion, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry these veggies for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly, until they are tender yet still crisp.

          Incorporate Snap Peas and Tomatoes: Add the trimmed snap peas and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly and the peas to become bright green.

            Season the Dish: Drizzle the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar over the stir-fried vegetables. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir everything well to distribute the flavors evenly.

              Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and gently mix in the sliced Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese. Finish by garnishing with fresh basil leaves for a vibrant touch.

                Serve: Serve your Charcuterie Board Veggie Stir Fry warm, either on its own for a light meal or as a delightful side to your favorite protein dish.
