With tender skin the color of sunshine, a mildly-sweet and nutty flavor, edible flowers and rich levels of vitamins C and B12, summer squash adds a colorful splash to your plate. Grilling elevates the mildly-sweet and nutty flavor of summer squash by caramelizing the natural sugars and adding a lovely smoky char. Grilled Summer Squash will add panache and variety to your diet.
