Tips:

Choose the right summer squash. Look for small, tender squash that are about 6 inches long. Avoid squash that are too large, as they will be tough and seedy.
Slice the squash and onion evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help create grill marks on the squash and onion.
Brush the squash and onion with olive oil. This will help them caramelize and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Season the squash and onion with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Grill the squash and onion for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn.
Remove the squash and onion from the grill and let them cool slightly.
Crumble feta cheese over the squash and onion. You can also add other toppings, such as fresh herbs, nuts, or seeds.

Conclusion:

Grilled summer squash and red onion with feta is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
