GRILLED ZUCCHINIS AND SUMMER SQUASH

It's a pretty remarkable experience to be blogging about a vegetable dish alone, but this one turned out to be very special.  The key is letting the marinade steep in the oil for an hour, then marinading the zucchinis for 1-4 hours before grilling.  The combination of flavors was amazing!!!  We served it with grilled chicken legs, rubbed with the same marinade as for the zucchinis.
