Squash
​
We always harvest our summer squash small and tender and that makes all the difference! We eat all the varieties all summer long cooked and raw in salads.
Grill Tips
The ideal way to grill a zucchini is to split it in half lengthwise, heat up your grill on med high. Brush oil on cut squash, season with whatever you like or marinate it. Place cut side down on grill, do not move zucchini for between 3-5 minutes depending on how much of a char you like. Flip it, cook one additional minute. You can slice it now or serve it as is.
