Steps (8)
-
Step 1Use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to thinly slice zucchini and squash. (Do not make them so thin that you can see through them or they will burn quickly on the grill.) Set aside.
-
Step 2Combine olive oil, honey and garlic powder; whisk to combine. The marinade should not feel sticky. If marinade is sticky, add a few tablespoons of water at a time to thin it out a bit. Taste marinade, adding salt and pepper as necessary.
-
Step 3Place sliced lemons, zucchini, and squash ribbons in a bag and pour marinade on top. Allow to sit for 15 minutes or up to an hour.
-
Step 4Preheat grill to medium high. Prepare by spraying with oil for the grill.
-
Step 5Place zucchini and squash onto the grill and allow to cook for approximately 3–4 minutes on first side and approximately 2–3 minutes on the other side. Watch carefully to ensure they do not burn.
-
Step 6Place the sliced lemons on the grill next to the zucchini.
-
Step 7In a bowl, combine 2 cups Greek yogurt, zest of half a lemon and a packet of packet Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dips Mix. Add 2–3 tablespoons of water to thin it out a bit and create a pourable dressing. Use half of the dressing for the salad and refrigerate the remaining dressing for another time.*
-
Step 8Place the grilled zucchini and squash into a bowl, add tomatoes, fresh basil and drizzle with dressing. Garnish with grilled lemons.
*Extra dressing can be placed in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
