2 medium zucchini, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1/4"
slices
1 medium yellow squash, trimmed and cut diagonally into
1/4" slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons thinly sliced basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1. Prepare a medium grill or heat broiler. In a large bowl,
combine zucchini, yellow squash, oil, salt and pepper.
Toss to coat. Grill squash (in batches, if necessary) 2 to
3 minutes per side until lightly charred and just tender.
Transfer to a large bowl and toss with basil, parsley,
lemon juice, lemon rind and sugar substitute.
Grilling adds a smoky flavor which enhances the delicate flavor
of mild vegetables, like squash. A chiffonade of fresh basil and
an accent of lemon juice are all that is needed to finish this dish.
