It may not officially be summer according to the calendar, but the days are heating up and the produce is coming in! I'm being drawn to simple meals that are lite and refreshing. Since summer squash is one of my favorite summer garden items, I have created a simple salad that allows me to enjoy this squash in a quick and easy way. Perfect for lunch or served as a side for dinner.
Summer Squash Salad
Spiralize your summer squash. Set aside in a large bowl. Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, together in a separate bowl, stirring until well combined. Pour dressing over prepared summer squash and add in the sliced jalapenos. Toss together until squash is well coated. Enjoy right away or store in refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
*Note: If you do not have a spiralizer or know what one is, it is worth looking into and adding to your kitchen tools- they are fantastic! You can also use a mandolin slicer to achieve the thin ribbons of squash.
