Balsamic Dressing: In bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Toss half with vegetables, brushing over onions; let stand for 10 minutes.
Place vegetables on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until tender and lightly charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to platter, peeling skins from peppers if desired. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
