Put 10 of the skewers in a shallow baking pan and cover with warm water. When you are ready to grill, fire it up and get it hot (at least 450 F). Scrub it with your grill brush. Rinse off all the produce. Cut the red bell pepper into about 2 inch square pieces, the zucchini into 2 inch wide slices and then in 1/2 and cut 3 of the sausages into 2 inch wide slices. Remove the wooden skewers from their water bath. Start building your skewers, placing the red pepper on each end, making sure you have some of each item on each skewer. Pour 1 teaspoon of the Vom Fass rosemary extra virgin olive oil into a small bowl and brush each skewer with the oil. Season with kosher salt.
- Turn the grill down to low. Grill skewers on each side until thoroughly done (about 7 minutes on each side). Serve over the herb blend (2 skewers a person) and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the Aceto Balsamico Platinum over the skewers while they are sitting on their bed of salad leaves.
