I am so glad that you posted this recipe from Cook's Illustrated. I love grilled zucchini and was looking for a new way to serve it. This is perfect and I love love LOVE(!) the onions with this. I don't think I had ever tried them like that before. And the vinaigrette is to die for. Thank you so much for posting. :)Reply
