How To Grill Squash And Zucchini In Foil

     Zucchini and summer squash are light, earthy flavored vegetables. When they are raw they have firm, white flesh and a smooth, hard green of yellow skin. When cooked correctly, they take on a whole new flavor and texture. Squash and zucchini will soak in all herbs and spices that they are cooked with, and their flesh will become slightly translucent and incredibly tender. Grilling squash and zucchini in a foil pack will steak the vegetables to make them tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked.
