Grilled Green and Yellow Squash with Basil

Grilling adds a smoky flavor which enhances the delicate flavor of mild vegetables, like squash. Fresh basil and lemon juice are all that is needed to finish this dish.

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

1/2 packet sugar substitute

 
 

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.
