Method: 

Prepare the Marinade

Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and thyme in a large bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.

Gradually whisk in the olive oil.

Spoon 3 tablespoons of the marinade into a small bowl. Cover and set aside.

Add the zucchini and yellow squash to the remaining marinade in the large bowl and toss to coat.

Transfer the mixture to a 13x9 glass baking dish.

Cover and marinate at room temperature at least 3 hours or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. 

 

Grill your Squash

Prepare your grill for medium-high heat.

Grill the vegetables until they are crisp-tender and brown, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes.

Transfer the vegetables to a platter.  

Drizzle with the reserved marinade and serve hot or at room temperature.
