Raw Summer Squash Salad

August 19, 2014 · 2 Comments

Raw Summer Squash Salad

This past weekend the garden bloomed with plenty of bright green zucchinis and yellow squashes. They’re lovely grilled or baked into cakes, but I prefer mine fresh as a salad. I topped steamed asparagus and hericots verts, with spaghetti-like ribbons of squash. When I made a batch of this, I knew extra was going to be needed, because I have been adding it onto everything.IMG_4620

I just loved the way the roasted tomato pesto became the perfect dressing for a bed a delicately sliced summer squash. It brought out each lovely ingredient’s flavor, a flavor so distinctly homegrown. When you take the time and effort to take seeds, nourish them and ensure they grow into food, you taste the difference in vegetables’ taste. Reading The Third Plate has given me a greater sense of where my food comes from, and more importably the techniques used to get them onto our kitchens. So, I was proud of this simple dish, a lunch I quickly put together with ingredients picked from the garden a few steps from my kitchen.Raw Summer Squash Salad

      Hope winter isn’t too bad there, I’m trying to avoid the cooler months as long as I can. Best!

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..
