Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice from one lemon wedge into the water. Trim the tops from the artichokes, then cut in half lengthwise, and place halves into the bowl of lemon water to prevent them from turning brown.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
- Add artichokes to boiling water, and cook for about 15 minutes. Drain. Squeeze the remaining lemon wedges into a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the artichokes with a coating of the garlic dip, and place them on the preheated grill. Grill the artichokes for 5 to 10 minutes, basting with dip and turning frequently, until the tips are a little charred. Serve immediately with the remaining dip.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Select fresh, firm vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Look for artichokes with tightly closed leaves and squashes with smooth, unblemished skin.
- Prepare the vegetables properly: Trim and clean the vegetables thoroughly before cooking. Cut them into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- Grill the vegetables over high heat: This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the vegetables and give them a smoky flavor. If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the vegetables in a hot oven.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and depth to the salad. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should still have a slight crunch after cooking. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
- Let the salad cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the dressing from wilting the greens.

This grilled squash and artichoke salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make. Whether you're grilling in the backyard or roasting in the oven, this salad is sure to be a hit.
