July Recipe of the Month - Grilled Zucchini and Summer Squash

It's July! That means hot weather, BBQ, hanging out by the pool and Zucchini. If you don't have some zucchini planted this summer we can guarantee your neighbor, grandmother, friend, or co worker does and they are trying to get rid of some. Looking for a new way to cook the zucchini? Try grilling it after marinating it. Check out the recipe below and good luck with your zucchini.

Ingredients:

  • 2 T of orange rind
  • 3/4 orange juice
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 3 T honey
  • 2 t olive oil
  • 1/2 t of salt
  • 1/4 t crushed red pepper
  • 2 red onions
  • 1 1/4 pound zucchini
  • 1 pound yellow squash
  • 3 T finely sliced basil

Combine first seven ingredients into a zip lock bag. Chop up onion, zucchini, squash and add to zip lock bag. Place in refrigerator for at least an hour. Drain veggies into a colander, turn on your drill and cook for about 8 min. Good luck and happy July!
