During the hot summer months, cook rice in double batches so that you'll have it on hand for refreshing whole-grain salads. I like to mold this in a ramekin.

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 pound long summer squash, preferably a mix of green and yellow, sliced very thin
Salt to taste
1 garlic clove, crushed
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 1/4 cups cooked red rice, either Thai jasmine, Thai sticky or Bhutanese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons lightly toasted pine nuts (15 grams)
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced or chopped, or 1/4 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the squash as thinly as you can. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse and drain on paper towels.
  • Mix together 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice and the garlic. Toss with the squash. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Remove the squash from the refrigerator and remove the garlic clove. If you want a garlicky dressing, purée the garlic and add it to the remaining lemon juice. Otherwise, discard the garlic. Whisk together the remaining lemon juice and the olive oil with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a salad bowl, combine the squash and whatever liquid is in the bowl, the rice, dill, pine nuts and scallions or chives. Toss with the dressing, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.

Chilled Yellow Squash Soup with Dill image

I make this soup with small yellow squash from my yard and leave the skin on. They give the soup a wonderful color and a mild buttery flavor. You can also make them with zucchini, but pick small, young ones with small seeds.

SUMMER SQUASH WITH DILL

Very easy, very tasty. Good even for those who are a little afraid of squash. I made this up when we "inherited" tons of squash from a friend who gardens.

Provided by Laura Meehan

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large summer squash
1 tablespoon dill
1 tablespoon light margarine (can use butter instead)
1 dash garlic salt

Steps:

  • Slice the squash into thin slices (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick). If it is a very large squash, you can cut these into halves or quarters to avoid serving large disks.
  • Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the squash and sauté several minutes or until tender-crisp (overcooking will produce squishier squash--when it starts looking soft, stop!)
  • Toss with margarine and dill in the pan, stirring until evenly coated, and cook for another minute or so.
