This colorful side dish utilizes two of summer’s most well-loved vegetables, making it the perfect accompaniment to anything you put on the grill. Cutting the yellow squash and zucchini into thick slices make them easier to handle on the grill—and less likely the fall through the grates—and it also gives them the surface area to take on those wonderful grill marks. This recipe can also serve as the base for an easy vegetarian main dish. You can simply toss the squash with whole-wheat pasta and sprinkle with crumbled feta for a fresh and easy entrée. Or, serve it over spinach or mixed greens for a hearty salad.
