1 Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to 400 to 425°F.
2 In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Toss well to coat.
3 Arrange the squash in a single layer on the grill and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through using tongs. Once grill marks appear on both sides and the squash is cooked, remove from the grill. (Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into 1-inch pieces if you desire). Transfer to a serving platter.
4 While you’re grilling the vegetables, make the vinaigrette. In a small jar with a lid, add the lemon juice, champagne vinegar, olive oil, garlic, shallot, and salt and black pepper, to taste. Close the jar and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is well combined, about 30 seconds. Set aside until ready to use.
5 Crumble the block of feta on top of the grilled zucchini and yellow squash. Garnish with fresh mint and basil leaves and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed and serve immediately. Did you love this recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!
