Scoring the cut sides of halved summer squash creates lots of nooks and crannies for salt to seep into, drawing out excess liquid before the squash hits the grill. Doing so also opens up more areas for the sweet-tart balsamic glaze to soak into. This recipe is best suited to an outdoor grill, as the sweet glaze tends to burn onto the grill grates; it would create quite a mess in a stovetop grill pan.
