Ingredients:
| 2 tablespoons | white wine vinegar |
| 2 tablespoons | fresh lemon juice |
| 1 tablespoon | minced garlic |
| 2 teaspoons | chopped fresh thyme leaves |
| salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| 1/3 cup | extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 pound | zucchini (about 3 large), trimmed and sliced diagonally about 1/4-inch thick |
| 1 pound | yellow crookneck squash (about 3 large), trimmed and sliced diagonally about 1/4-inch thick |
Directions:
Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and thyme in a large bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the marinade into a small bowl. Cover and set aside. Add the zucchini and yellow squash to the remaining marinade in the large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Cover and marinate at room temperature at least 3 hours or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
Prepare the barbecue for medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables until they are crisp-tender and brown, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a platter. Drizzle with the reserved marinade and serve hot or at room temperature.
