Grilled Zucchini Summer Squash Salad

Using the grill is good to cook these because
you get some impressive grill marks and it
also removes some of the moisture from them.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons grated orange rind
3/4 cup fresh orange juice (about 3 oranges)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 red onions
4 zucchini, each halved lengthwise
4 yellow squash, each halved lengthwise
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Directions:
Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag.
Peel onions, leaving root intact; cut each onion into 4 wedges.
Add onion, zucchini, and yellow squash to bag.
Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour,
turning bag occasionally.
Prepare grill to hot.
Drain vegetables in a colander over a bowl, reserving marinade.
Place vegetables on a grill rack coated with cooking spray,
and grill for 8 minutes or until tender;
turn and baste occasionally with 3/4 cup of the marinade.
Place the vegetables on a serving platter;
sprinkle with the basil.
Serve the vegetables with the remaining marinade.
