Grilled Summer Squash and Zucchini Recipe

  • 6 medium yellow squash and/or green zucchini (3 pounds)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons coarse-grain mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  1. Prepare grill for indirect-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (high heat for gas).
  2. Trim squash and/or zucchini and halve lengthwise, then toss with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl.
