Ingredients
- 1 zucchini courgette (medium)
- 1 summer squash (medium)
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon basil leaves shredded
Instructions
- Cut the zucchini and summer squash into medium-thick slices. Lightly brush them with a little oil and grill on both sides until gently browned and just soft.
- While the zucchini and squash are grilling, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil, along with a little black pepper, in a bowl that will be big enough for the vegetables. Shred the basil.
- Once the zucchini and squash are ready, carefully toss them in the lemon and oil mixture (whisk a little more just before adding if they have separated), along with the shredded basil. Leave to marinade for a good 5 minutes and serve, or else leave them to come to room temperature and refrigerate until you need them. They should keep fine a day or two refrigerated. Best brought up to room temperature before eating, though chilled also works.

Notes
These would be great to nibble on alongside other picnic food, or else as a side to eg grilled fish, steak or chicken.
If you don't have yellow summer squash, you can also simply use additional zucchini.
