Grilled Yellow Squash w/Lemon and Chive Vinaigrette

With summer breathing down my neck, I'm always looking for entrees and side dishes I can prepare on the grill to keep the kitchen cooler.  I ran across this the other day and it is a perfect side dish and oh so easy.  And pretty darn tasty.

GRILLED YELLOW SQUASH with LEMON and CHIVE VINAIGRETTE

8-10 small or 3-4 large yellow crookneck squash
canola oil
S&P

Vinaigrette:
3 Tbsp EVOO
1 Tbsp freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tsp chopped chives
S&P

Preheat grill to high.

Slice squash in half lengthwise.  Place in a shallow dish with canola oil and sprinkle with S&P.  Let marinade for 10 minutes.

Make vinaigrette by whisking all of the ingredients together or placing in a Mason jar and shaking well.

Turn grill down to medium-high.  Grill squash for 4-5 minutes per side (6-7 minutes if using large squash).

Remove from heat and drizzle with dressing.
