Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Be sure to clean and oil the grill grates.
2
While the grill is heating, cook the whole-wheat gnocchi as per package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
3
Lightly coat the eggplant, zucchini, squash, corn, and onion with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
4
Place the vegetables on the grill, cooking each side until they become slightly charred and tender. Depending on their thickness, this should take around 3 to 5 minutes per side.
5
Once grilled, place the vegetables on a cutting board. Remove the corn kernels from the cob and cut all the other vegetables into bite-sized chunks.
6
In a large bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
7
Add the cooked gnocchi and grilled vegetables to the bowl and gently toss until everything is well coated with the dressing.
8
Before serving, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the gnocchi and vegetables. Your special gnocchi toss is now ready to be enjoyed.
