Grilled Zucchini-and-Summer Squash Salad With Citrus Splash Dressing

For 4 servings

Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons grated orange rind

• 3/4 cup fresh orange juice (about 3 oranges)

• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 2 teaspoons olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

• 2 red onions

• 4 zucchini, each halved lengthwise (about 1-1/4 pounds)

• 4 yellow squash, each halved lengthwise (about 1 pound)

• Cooking spray

• 3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil




Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Peel onions, leaving root intact; cut each onion into 4 wedges. Add onion, zucchini, and yellow squash to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning bag occasionally.

2. Prepare grill.

3. Drain vegetables in a colander over a bowl, reserving marinade. Place vegetables on a grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill for 8 minutes or until tender; turn and baste occasionally with 3/4 cup of the marinade. Place the vegetables on a serving platter; sprinkle with the basil. Serve the vegetables with the remaining marinade. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 zucchini halves, 2 squash halves, 2 onion wedges, and 3 tablespoons citrus dressing).
