Squash, Green & Yellow, Grilled W.Basil - Atkins Recipe




Ingredients:

2 medium zucchini, trimmed, diag 1/4' slices
1 medium yellow squash, trimmed, diag 1/4' slices
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp basil leaves, slice thin
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chop
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon rind, grated
1/2 packet sugar substitute

Instructions:

Grilling adds a smoky flavor which enhances the delicate flavor of mild
vegetables, like squash. A chiffonade of fresh basil and an accent of lemon
juice are all that is needed to finish this dish.

1. Prepare a medium grill or heat broiler. In a large bowl, combine
zucchini, yellow squash, oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

2. Grill squash (in batches, if necessary) 2 to 3 minutes per side until
lightly charred and just tender. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with
basil, parsley, lemon juice, lemon rind and sugar substitute.
