WARM SUMMER SQUASH SALAD

Provided by Martha Stewart
Yield Serves 12
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Coat a large skillet with oil. Add a third of the garlic, and heat over medium-high heat until sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes. Add a third of the zucchini and yellow squashes, and cook until just wilted and browned around edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat twice with remaining garlic, zucchini, and yellow squashes. Stir in vinegar to last batch, and let evaporate slightly. Return all batches of zucchini and yellow squashes to skillet, and stir in oregano. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with oregano sprigs.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for summer squash that is firm and has smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
- Slice the squash thinly: This will help the squash cook evenly and will also make it easier to eat.
- Don't overcook the squash: Summer squash cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked squash will be mushy and bland.
- Add flavorings: Summer squash has a mild flavor, so it can be easily flavored with a variety of ingredients. Try adding herbs, spices, citrus juice, or vinegar.
- Serve warm or cold: Summer squash salad can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool slightly before serving.
Conclusion:
Summer squash salad is a healthy and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its bright colors and delicious flavors, summer squash salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
