There’s nothing complicated about this savory and delectable char-grilled recipe! Grilled Cucumbers and Yellow Squash with Dorot Herbs makes for a seamless and sizzling late summer side dish!
If you’re anything like I am you’re looking forward to autumn but are still loving the bountiful produce that late summer provides. My local market hooked me up good with gorgeous cukes and yellow squash this week. And just because we had a little drizzle this morning, didn’t mean I couldn’t create a fragrant and gratifying grilled recipe…my grill pan was sitting pretty and ready to go.
Grilled Cucumbers and Yellow Squash with Dorot Herbs, made with crushed garlic and chopped basil, can be ready in no time.
Perhaps you’ve seen these cute little packages in your local grocer and have always wanted to know more…. I got my Dorot pre-packaged frozen garlic and basil from the frozen foods section of Trader Joe’s, but Wegmans, Whole Foods and a number of others carry it, too.
Dorot grows their own garlic, basil, cilantro, parsley, chili and ginger. At the peak of freshness, they pull their products from the fields, process and flash freeze into convenient trays within 90 minutes of harvest. <—— You read that right – 90 minutes of harvest! And with a full-year shelf life, there’s never an excuse to not have fresh garlic, onions and herbs year round.
With a simple “pop” of the tray, we can have fresher than fresh flavors in mere seconds!
Dorot pre-portioned garlic, onions and herbs eliminate chopping and measuring, making it effortless for us to season and flavor our favorite dishes.
From soups to stews, sauces to marinades, Dorot’s fresh and frozen garlic and herbs has got us covered.
I’m thrilled to have found Dorot! For those days when there’s no time for peeling and chopping and mincing and pressing – Dorot will be my first choice!
Buon Appetito!

simple is sometimes best. i was chatting with my girlfriends this summer and they asked me to post more quick and easy recipes that i always assume people don’t want to see. wrong! those are quickly becoming my most popular. this is the first time i’m hearing of Dorot. what a great find. i’ll have to give it a go!
Though simple is my jam – your recipes are the bomb! I love everything you create! I hope you check out Dorot – its convenience can’t be beat!! Thanks, friend!
I’ve seen Dorot herbs in the stores but never tried them. I’ll have to now! I’m trying to get in as much grilling as I can before winter AND I have a ton of summer squashes and cukes in my weekly CSA. Trying this recipe this weekend! 🙂
I think you’ll love it! Dorot will definitely come in handy, especially as the colder months show their face! Enjoy! 🙂
Can’t wait to try these grilled cucumbers! Love Dorot herbs and garlic! Pinned!
Aren’t they great!! Loved how you used them in your mushroom side dish! Thanks, friend!
I’d really like to try the Dorot herbs. I get so frustrated when the basil I buy doesn’t stay fresh for long, and I had to forget about growing it in my yard, with all the deer. I’m going to look for this! Thanks, Annie.
I hear you about the deer….they are taking over the neighborhood! I think you’ll be very pleased with this product, Andrea!! 🙂
