Ingredients:

3 T heat-safe oil, like grapeseed or coconut

1 cup diced English cucumber (or any cucumber)

1 Tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)

2 cloves garlic, minced

juice from 1 small lemon

3 T extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Salt and pepper

2-3 medium summer squash (zucchini, Italian squash, yellow crooked-neck, etc.)

1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes (I used yellow pear tomatoes)

Equipment:

grill pan

stove

grill

bowl

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your grill or stove-top grill pan to about medium heat.Place the two oils in small, separate bowls. Divide the garlic and thyme between the bowls, and stir.Cut the squash into quarter-inch thick slices and arrange on a sheet pan. Brush the squash with the heat-safe oil mixture and place on the grill, oil-side down. Brush the other sides. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, flipping once, until squash is tender and has nice grill marks. Don't grill them until they're mushy.Dice up the grilled squash and place in a medium bowl with the tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice, and extra-virgin olive oil mixture. Mix well, then add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the cheese shavings on top and serve.Nat's Note:1. Why are there two kinds of oil? Heating extra-virgin olive oil to high temperatures changes the structure of the fats in the oil and causes them to oxidize, eliminating the benefits you'd normally receive. (Oxidated fats = not good for the body)2. Grilled bell peppers, corn and/or onions would be great additions, too! You can put pretty much any kind of summer produce in this salad and it turns out well.
