The last squash...

Mike took the last squash out of the garden, so we made this salad. It was tasty!

Crisp-tender slices of squash marry well with lemon, shallot, and thyme. Choose yellow squash that is glossy, firm, heavy for its size, and small -- a petite squash boasts fewer seeds and more flavor than a big one.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 2 medium yellow squashes (8 ounces each), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

Method

In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add squash, shallot, and thyme. Toss to combine. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Prep

- Prep: 15 Minutes
- Total Time: 20 Minutes

I put the photo up as a reminder of what I pulled colors from.  I really like the look so far!
