    In a large pot with salted water cook pasta according to package instructions. Place in a large bowl. Cut grilled vegetables into 1-inch pieces; add to pasta in bowl.

    For dressing:

    Whisk lemon juice, red wine vinegar & lemon zest in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in 1/3-cup oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
