1/2 cup fresh cilantro, leaves and stems, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, leaves and stems, finely chopped
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1/2 of a lime)
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
2 medium green zucchini, cut lengthwise then across into
1 slices to form half-moons (about 2 cups)
2 medium yellow summer squash, cut lengthwise then
across into 1 slices to form half-moons (about 2 cups)
1. In a small bowl, combine cilantro, parsley, oil,
mayonnaise, lime juice and garlic and mix well. Let
stand for 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Alternating colors,
thread 6 pieces of squash onto each of 8 skewers.
Brush half the mayonnaise mixture over the vegetables.
Cover and grill 4 to 5 minutes, turn, brush with
remaining mayonnaise mixture and grill 4 to 5 minutes
more, until lightly charred.
This recipe is simplicity itself, so its success depends solely
upon the quality of the produce. Look for firm, unblemished
squash of similar diameter for even grilling.
