I love summer. Beautiful, colorful, fresh, and flavorful ingredients are in abundance. You can't help but eat healthier. Lighter. This Summer Squash Salad is so very simple, I pulled the flavors from my mom's Simple Cabbage Salad . Really simple ingredients. It's easy to make. I use my Spiral Slicer, you can see it here. If you don't have one use a julienne peeler, mine looks like this here, but it's plastic.
There's no oil or mayo in this salad, it travels well. Perfect for picnics. I used Daikon in the above picture, if you can't find it just leave it out. If you have other vegetables you like that julienne well, use them!
I keep seeing people posting about how their garden is being overtaken by zucchini. I can't grow squat so please send me your zucchini and vegetables!
Here's a salad that I made with the ribbon slicer of my Spiral Slicer.

1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
Dressing
Zest from one lime

Toss all the ingredients with the dressing.
Serve chilled.
If you are not serving this within a day, leave the cilantro off. Add it in before serving.
Squash is watery, so the more this sits the more juice/watery it will be.
Spiral sliced carrots are great in this salad also.
This looks so healthy and yummy! I'll have to pick up the ingredients at the farmer's market next week.
ReplyDeleteI have LOTS of zucchini and summer squash in my garden right now. Going to try this recipe without the peppers
