Grilled squash and cherry tomatoe salad

Yet another squash recipe, I know I will try and lay off after this it just that I have so many different varieties that I have been trying to figure out how to use. This recipe was ready in 15 minutes and made for  a great light dinner after a hot day outside.

1 crookneck squash split lengthwise
1 zucchini split in half and then lengthwise
1 thick slice of onion rings
a handful or more of cherry tomatoes
butter lettuce
1/3 cup Parmesan
handful of shredded basil
salt and pepper
olive oil
balsamic vinegar

Heat the grill and brush squash halves and onion with olive oil, grill until there is nice grill marks on them. In a large bowl  put cherry tomatoes ( I also quartered a couple of other golf ball sized varieties with a handful of cherry tomatoes) Parmesan, basil, salt and pepper and when the squash has nice grill marks slice into chunks and mix with tomatoes serve over a bed of lettuce (I used butter lettuce) drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

This was so easy I actually had time to post it tonight! Really yummy too but if you don't like squash you could probably substitute some other veggies like peppers and mushrooms maybe.
