Ingredients
- 1 zucchini courgette (medium)
- 1 summer squash (medium)
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon basil shredded, leaves
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.
