Ingredients: 

Vinaigrette: 

4 tablespoons Family Reserve Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

2 tablespoons Roasted Garlic White Balsamic Vinegar 

1 teaspoons Chimichurri Seasoning Blend 

1 teaspoon Fleur de Sel 

½ teaspoon black pepper 

Main:

2 each zucchini, halved lengthwise 

2 each yellow squash, halved lengthwise 

2 cups tomatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces 

2 cups cucumbers, sliced 

½ cup shallot, thinly sliced 

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 

¼ cup fresh scallions, chopped 

Directions:

Preheat your gas grill to medium heat or prepare charcoal coals for the perfect grilled zucchini and yellow squash. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, seasoning blend, salt, and pepper to create a simple vinaigrette. Brush the squash with the vinaigrette, reserving some for later, then grill each side for 2 to 3 minutes until tender. Let the squash cool to room temperature before chilling it in the fridge. Once chilled, arrange the grilled squash on a serving platter and top with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, shallots, cilantro, and scallions. Finish by drizzling the reserved vinaigrette over the top for a fresh, flavorful dish everyone will love!
