Anyway, the whole point is, I have a ton of these green and yellow guys and have been trying lots of different recipes to use them.
This has got to be one of the most delicious ways that I have had summer squash. This salad takes moments to fix and it is amazingly amazing. It is so simple, yet so good.
The summer squash and zucchini are shaved with a vegetable peeler into thin strips and combined with a simple dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh mint, salt and pepper.
Add a little pancetta- which I used because I like it better than prosciutto, and top it with some feta. Delish and ready in minutes, without slaving away in the kitchen on a hot summer day.
Perfection!!
Here is the recipe for Shaved Summer Squash Salad with Prosciutto Crisps
* I used cubed pancetta instead of prosciutto
* I used feta cheese

Love this! Looks so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great summer salad, just in time for the heat wave we are expecting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm what a fabulous way of using up your excess of these veggies! So simple but sounds so delicious. Love the idea of combining mint, feta and pancetta! Looks gorgeous!

One of my favourite times to the year (for a short while) is when the zucchini crop is on overload. Right now thye are barely blossoming here. This looks like a great use for some of the excess crop!
