Directions
|
1. Turn grill on or get charcoal set to medium heat.
2. Arrange zucchini and yellow squash on a big platter, cut side up, and drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub to coat veggies evenly.
3. When grill is ready, put zucchini and yellow squash on cut side down; cook for 5 minutes or until grill marks are nice, then flip and grill for about 5 minutes more or until brown and tender.
4. Remove and allow to cool in order to handle, then cut into strips crossways, then into rough chopped bite-sized pieces.
5. Put pieces in a large serving bowl and add the basil, Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of remaining olive oil; toss gently until coated nicely.
6. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Story

This grilled dish can be served as a salad, even over cold fresh mixed greens if you like. Or, you can serve it as a side dish, alongside any grilled meat, poultry, or fish. It's a great way to use an abundance of summer squash.
If you want a bit of crunch in this salad, just stir in some roasted pine nuts or walnuts when you serve it.
