Description

Raw, ribboned yellow and green squash tossed with an herbed lemon vinaigrette, pine nuts and feta cheese. Buy the freshest, smallest squash you can find (local/organic will have the best flavor). Salting the squash helps draw out excess moisture, so allow 20 minutes for that step

Ingredient:

  • ¼ cup pine nuts (or slivered almonds or sunflower seeds)
  • 2 pounds mixed baby zucchini and yellow squash
  • Salt
  • ½ to 1 cup quality feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large garlic clove, pressed or minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint (or tarragon)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
