Easy grilled summer squash with goat cheese and oregano is a delicious summer side dish for using up that bounty of fresh summer squash! (gluten-free, nut-free)

It’s my favorite time of year for making delicious meals! Summer means easy, lazy dinners full of fresh produce.

To keep things as easy as possible in the summer months, I like to make meals that can be cooked entirely on the grill. It makes both cooking and clean up super easy, so you spend more time relaxing and enjoying delicious food.

One of my favorite veggies to grill in the summer is yellow squash. It’s delicious grilled with nothing but olive oil, salt and pepper, but I like to dress it up a little with fresh herbs and goat cheese in this dish for something a little more special with minimal effort.

Grilled summer squash with goat cheese and oregano is a super flavorful side dish that goes beautifully with any meal that you’re grilling this summer. It’s savory and herby, slightly smoky-sweet thanks to grilled onions, with a touch of tang from creamy goat cheese. And the best part is it’s so easy to make, especially if you’re already standing at the grill for something else!

So fire up the grill (or grill pan if you don’t have a grill, bless you) for dinner, and add this delicious grilled summer squash with goat cheese and oregano to the menu with your favorite grilled chicken, meat or seafood recipe. Then relax and enjoy the fruits of your (not hard) labor!
