Marinated Grilled Zucchini
This grilled marinated zucchini is one of our families favorite summer side dishes. The zucchini is marinated for several hours before grilling, giving it plenty of flavor and helping it stay tender on the inside while developing beautiful grill marks on the outside. It's easy to prepare ahead of time and goes perfectly with everything from burgers and hot dogs to grilled chicken and steak.
