GRILLED ZUCCHINI, ONIONS, AND RED PEPPERS
This is a great recipe to use up all those vegetables that are coming in from the garden about now. Plus, I love to grill, and this just makes it easier to make a complete meal on the grill. These are also good in a pita with garlic mayo or tzatziki sauce! **Prep time does not include the time to get the grill ready for grilling!

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise and then cut them into quarters.
- Trim, core, and stem the red bell peppers. Cut them into four equal parts from top down.
- Peel the onion and lay it on its side. Cut it inot 1/4 to 1/2 inch circles, being careful to keep the concentric layers in place.
- Place the zucchini, onions, and bell peppers in a shallow baking sheet. Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and drizzle over the vegetables. Sprinkle the chopped garlic, basil, and oregano over the top. Add the Cavendar's Greek Seasoning to taste.
- Place the vegetables on a hot grill with tongs. (If you'd like you can use a grilling basket to keep from losing any of the vegetables through the grill!).
- Cook on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes (or until they are marked) over a medium hot grill. Brush the vegetables with any remaining oil/vinegar mix when you turn them.
- Serve hot or cold!

Steps:
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat (400 to 450 degrees F). Trim off the ends of each zucchini and cut it lengthwise into quarters so that you have four batons per zucchini. Place on a rimmed baking sheet or on a large baking pan.
- Drizzle the zucchini with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Place the zucchini on the grill so that one of the cut sides is touching the grates. Grill for 4 minutes, until clear grill marks appear.
- Flip the zucchini over onto the back (peel) side. Grill for 5 additional minutes. At this point, you can flip it to the remaining ungrilled cut side for 1 to 2 minutes if you'd like grill marks on all surfaces (we usually just serve it as is!). Transfer back to the baking sheet or to a serving platter.
- Squeeze the lemon over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan. Enjoy!

GRILLED LEMON-PEPPER ZUCCHINI
I like to serve this easy summer-vegetable dish with grilled chicken and rice. I suppose you could switch the type of seasonings you use if you'd like a different flavor, or even change up the vegetables to suit your liking.

Steps:
- Prepare grill.
- Trim zucchini and cut each lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Quarter bell pepper lengthwise, discarding seeds, stem, and ribs. Brush zucchini with oil and grill with bell pepper on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until zucchini is just tender and pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, vegetables may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Cut zucchini into 1-inch-wide pieces and cut bell pepper into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt. In a dry 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan toast cumin seeds over moderately low heat, swirling pan occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and water and bring to a boil. Add couscous and immediately cover pan. Remove pan from heat and let couscous stand 5 minutes. With a fork fluff couscous and in a bowl toss with vegetables, garlic paste, and salt to taste.
