Squash, squash and some more squash!

Summer veggies are in and my parents keep loading me up with fresh squash from their garden.

Any good recipes? Has anyone made noodles with yellow squash before?

Thanks

Hi bb ~ Yes, I make the noodles with yellow squash. Sometimes I mix the yellow and zucchini, so pretty! Here's a very yummy 'pasta' salad that I enjoy:

Zucchini Pasta Salad

2 zucchini (or yellow squash)
1 T Italian Seasoning
1/4 t salt
3T extra virgin olive oil
2T apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
3-5 small tomatoes, chopped
2 sprigs basil, torn
Deb's additions: 1/2 - avocado, diced (makes it all creamy)
1-2 scallions
Much more basil

Combine dressing ingredients and blend well. Toss with sliced zucchini, stir in tomatoes and basil. Let sit and marinade for 15-30 minutes.

Deb's Note - I slice these on my mandolin, then I stack the slices and cut them lengthwise to give narrower 'noodles'.

Oh, that salad looks yummy! Thanks for posting it.

I mix the yellow and the green often as well. I don't care for the taste of them in chunks but making angel hair pasta or even slicing them with a peeler makes the spices soak in better and I like them that way a lot.

You're sure welcome adobegirl ~ It really is a tasty salad. I've made it for others and for raw food potlucks. It's always a hit. And to think I found the recipe on the back of a pack of zucchini seeds! *Ü*
