Tips:

When choosing summer squash for slaw, look for firm, brightly colored squash with no blemishes.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the squash. This will help the slaw to be light and refreshing.
If you don't have time to marinate the squash, you can add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing to help tenderize it.
Be creative with your dressing! There are many different ways to make a delicious dressing for summer squash slaw. Try a simple vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or a tangy dressing made with yogurt or sour cream.
Add some protein to your slaw to make it a more filling meal. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu are all great options.
