Grilled Marinated Zucchini and Summer Squash

Category: Zucchini

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tsps chopped fresh thyme
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb zucchini (about 3 large), trimmed and
quartered lengthwise
1 lb yellow crookneck squash (about 3 large),
trimmed and quartered lengthwise

In a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and thyme to blend. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season the marinade to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon 3 Tbsp of the marinade into a small bowl. Cover and set aside. Add the zucchini and yellow squash to the remaining marinade in the large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to a 13x9x2-in glass baking dish. Cover and marinate at room temperature for at least 3 hrs or refrigerate up to 1 day.

Prepare the grill for medium-high heat. Grill the squash pieces, turning occasionally until they are crisp-tender and brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer them to a platter. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the squash and serve hot or at room temperature.
