Summer Squash Salad

I love summer squash and when the garden is ripe
there are plenty to come up with cool recipes using them.
Here is a grilled squash salad that is sure to be good.

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 (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 yellow squash, each halved lengthwise (about 1 pound)
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.
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.
