Zucchini and Yellow Squash Salad
Always on the lookout for a new salad, I got an idea while I was in the grocery store the other day. I saw some nice zucchini and yellow summer squash on sale and thought they would be great in a fresh salad. I thinly sliced the zucchini and yellow squash to make the salad almost like a slaw. For the dressing, I used a bunch of Mediterranean flavors, including olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano and garlic.
This salad tastes best if the veggies are able to marinate in the dressing for a while – overnight is best. Just before serving, I sprinkled some crumbled feta on top which added a nice texture and saltiness to the salad. This is great for the summer and perfect alongside grilled steak, chicken, burgers and more!
