Inspired by a recipe from FoodandWine.com
Ingredients
- 1 Zucchini sliced in ribbons
- 1 Yellow Squash sliced in ribbons
- 1/3 lb Prosciutto thinly sliced
Citrus Mint Dressing
- 1 tsp Lime Zest
- 1/4 cup Fresh Lime & Lemon Juice total combined
- 1/4 cup Fresh Mint chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil plus more for brushing
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat a grill pan or prepare your outside grill. Then, in a small bowl, combine the lime zest and juice with the mint, garlic and the 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Thread the skewer alternating between zucchini, yellow squash, and prosciutto. Lightly brush the vegetables and prosciutto with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Grill the skewers over high heat until the zucchini and yellow squash is lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with the mint dressing on the side or drizzled on the top.
Recipe Notes
A variation of this dish is a pasta salad which is excellent served at room-temperature.
To Make: boil the pasta of your choice until al dente, then toss with olive oil and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, coarsely chop the grilled zucchini, yellow squash and prosciutto and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the pasta and mint dressing and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
