Zesty Grilled Zucchini Pasta Salad

Recipe was printed on one of those recipe cards from the grocery store. i really liked the flavors of this dish and used it as a main dish by adding some grilled chicken too. i used an indoor grill pan but of course this would work on an outdoor grill too. **note 4-8 hours of marinading of veggies is needed to really get the flavors** hope you enjoy it too!!
