Summer Squash Salad
Summer Squash Salad
I have been growing a lot of zucchini but bored of grilling them all the time! After recently visiting my favorite neighborhood restaurant - five leaves - I was inspired to make this simple salad with a new way to eat summer squash RAW!
What’s so great about this salad is that it’s fresh, simple, fast, and can be made in one bowl! Each bite needs a little feta and pistachio for that silky crunchy texture. Make this salad for lunch, or as a side with your grilled protein!
Total Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 cup arugula
1 green zucchini
1 yellow summer squash
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, squeezed
salt & pepper
1/4 cup marinated olives, chopped
chopped pistachio for garnish
1/4 cup crumbled feta for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
Using a mandolin, slice green zucchini directly on top of the bed of arugula.
Using a vegetable peeler, peel the sides of summer squash on top of the vegetables again.
Drizzle olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, and toss the vegetables together and season them with salt and pepper.
Finish the salad with chopped olives, pistachio, and crumbled feta.
