Enjoy summer nights with this beautiful cheese board, celebrating the wonderful flavors of in-season produce.

1 Yellow summer squash, washed and sliced 1/4" thick, lengthwise
Olive oil

8 oz. Cherry tomatoes, washed and quartered
1 Small garlic glove, peeled and minced
1 Tbsp. Shallot, peeled and finely diced
1 tsp. Balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. Olive oil
1 tbsp. Fresh basil, rinsed and chopped

Method:
Marinate Tomatoes:
Combine cherry tomatoes and the last 6 ingredients together. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Grill Vegetables:
Preheat grill. Brush zucchini with olive oil, basting oil, or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Salt and pepper to taste. Grill over medium heat 3-4 minutes per side.
