Grilled Yellow Squash and Zucchini

"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."

  1. I cannot grill where I live now. Can this be adjusted for cooking stove top in a cast iron pan?

  1. I let them weep upside down on paper towel after sprinkling with salt. Used seasoned salt, maybe a teaspoon, mixed with the other ingredients minus salt and let marinate ~20 minutes. Cooked ~5 min/side and after cooling, sliced into big chunks. My husband and I both loved! Not soggy at all!
     
  2. One thing I’ve learned about summer squash is that it helps to allow it to weep. It makes the squash not so soggy. Spread the slices on paper towel and salt both side. Allow to weep moisture for 1/2 hour or so. This is a must for eggplant. Good dish!
     
  3. That marinade is so simple but boy is it so good! It turned any vegetable into the most delicious veggie you'll eat! Made with summer squash and zucchini and it was amazing!
     
  4. Made this tonight....very easy and really tasty. I would serve this to company because not only does it taste good but with the grill marks it looks like fancy restaurant food!
     
  5. I loved the garlic and lemon combination, but my husband thought the squash was too mushy. Even when I mentioned we could grill it for less time, he still rated it a three out of five stars. While I rated it as a 5 star reciep, my DH rated it as a 3 star. We are compromising on 4 stars.
