Golden State Grilled Veggie Focaccia Sandwich layers smoky bell peppers, tender zucchini and squash, and sweet charred red onion with a tangy lemon-garlic mayo.

1

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Refrigerate until needed.
2

Preheat the grill to high heat.
3

Brush the vegetables with olive oil on both sides. Oil the grill grate. Place the bell peppers and zucchini closest to the center of the grill, and arrange the onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3 minutes; the peppers may need a little longer. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each with feta cheese. Set the bread on the grill cheese side up, cover with the lid for 2 to 3 minutes to warm the bread and lightly melt the cheese. Watch closely so the bottoms do not burn. Remove from the grill and top with the vegetables. Serve as open-faced grilled sandwiches.
