Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into ¼-inch slices
2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced lengthwise into ¼-inch slices
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 oz soft goat cheese (¼ cup)
½ tsp lemon juice
3 cups baby spinach leaves, stemmed
⅔ cup basil leaves

Directions

Discard the outermost slices (top and bottom) of the zucchini and yellow squash. Brush slices with olive oil on both sides. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side, or until tender.
In a small bowl, combine goat cheese and lemon juice, mashing with a fork.
Remove zucchini and yellow squash from grill. Spoon ½ teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture ½ inch from one end of a zucchini or yellow squash slice. Top with a few spinach leaves and 1 small basil leaf. Roll up and place seam-side down to set the shape. Repeat with the rest of the slices.
