Grilled Summer Squash with Feta and Mint Recipe
- 3 pounds assorted summer squash, washed and ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 1/2 ounces)
- 4 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
- Place 1 squash on a cutting board and make a diagonal cut about 1 1/2 inches from one end.
- Roll the squash a half turn and make another diagonal cut (in the same direction as the first cut) about 1 1/2 inches from the cut end of the squash.
- Repeat with the rolling and cutting until you reach the end of the squash.
- (This is called a roll cut; watch for more tips.)
- Repeat with the remaining squash, place in a large bowl, and set aside.
- Place the lemon juice in a medium bowl and whisk in the olive oil in a slow stream until combined.
- Season with salt and pepper, then add half of the dressing to the bowl of squash, season generously with salt and pepper again, toss to combine, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high (about 450 degrees F to 550 degrees F).
- When the grill is ready, use a slotted spoon to place the squash on the grill.
- Reserve the large bowl and any remaining dressing in it.
- Cook the squash uncovered, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 7 to 8 minutes total.
- Return the grilled squash to the large bowl, add the remaining half of the dressing, and toss until evenly coated.
- Let the squash cool until just warm or room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- Add the feta and mint and stir to combine.
- Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed.
