Ingredients

  • 1 pound assorted summer squash (such as pattypan, zucchini, or zephyr)
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (from 1 shallot)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup), divided
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Method

  • Preheat grill to medium (350°F to 400°F). Cut larger squash into 1-inch-thick slices; leave any smaller squash whole. Place squash, mint, salt, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a small bowl; toss to coat. Let stand 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together vinegar, shallot, honey, mustard, 1/4 cup of the feta, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in remaining 1/2 cup oil.
  • Grill squash until slightly charred and tender, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer squash to a serving platter; drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the vinegar dressing. Sprinkle with parsley and remaining 1/4 cup feta. Serve immediately with remaining dressing.
