Marinated grilled zucchini and summer squash

Zucchini and summer squash are marinated after grilling to transform them into a fresh, tasty side.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 zucchini (courgette (medium))
• 1 summer squash ((medium))
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp basil leaves (shredded)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut the zucchini and summer squash into medium-thick slices. Lightly brush them with a little oil and grill on both sides until gently browned and just soft.
2. 2While the zucchini and squash are grilling, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil, along with a little black pepper, in a bowl that will be big enough for the vegetables. Shred the basil.
3. 3Once the zucchini and squash are ready, carefully toss them in the lemon and oil mixture (whisk a little more just before adding if they have separated), along with the shredded basil. Leave to marinade for a good 5 minutes and serve, or else leave them to come to room temperature and refrigerate until you need them. They should keep fine a day or two refrigerated. Best brought up to room temperature before eating, though chilled also works.
