Recipe Notes

  • Don't just stop at zucchini! You can use this grilling method on other vegetables. 

Here's how to make it:

  1. Put the sliced zucchini in a plastic zipper bag or shallow dish. Pour the salad dressing into the bag. Shake or stir to coat the squash and let it marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature. 
  2. Remove the zucchini from the marinade. Grill over moderate heat, turning often, until soft and just slightly charred, about 5 to 10 minutes.
