GRILLED AND MARINATED ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH RECIPE



Grilled and Marinated Zucchini and Yellow Squash Recipe image

"It's amazing how a quick and simply marinade can change the flavors of zucchini and yellow squash. This lemony-peppery mixture really wakes them up. This may seem to be in reverse order-grill, then marinate-but it's a classic Italian technique that creates great results."-Bobby Flay

GRILLED YELLOW SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI



Grilled Yellow Squash and Zucchini image

I love grilling vegetables, not only because they taste delicious, but I find it quite handy to cook an entire meal outdoors--- and it is nice to avoid heating up the kitchen during the hot summer months. This is a super quick side, no time spent peeling, slicing, or dicing. Just halve your squash, mix up your sauce, and get right down to the grilling business. This recipe (adapted from fooddownunder.com) does not call for any salt, but I really felt it needed some, so I gave the squash a generous sprinkling of kosher salt after it came off the grill. Unless you are watching your sodium intake, I think the flavor definitely benefits from a good dose of salt.
