Grilled Zucchini with Balsamic Basil Marinade
Grilled Zucchini with Balsamic Basil Marinade
Summer is here and the grill is uncovered! We are enjoying the long evenings on the back deck along with some of the bounty from our little garden space. Every summer that bounty includes lots of zucchini and yellow squash. I love pulling my favorite summer recipes out of the recipe box and fixing the dishes my family loves every year!
Such a simple yet tasty marinade for our little zucchinis. Note the fresh basil – I’m always happy when I find a recipe that lets me use our summer basil plant.
Fresh-from-the-garden zucchini on the grill!
