Number Of Ingredients 10

2 small head of sucrine or baby butterhead lettuce, trimmed, leaves separated, washed, and dried
2 ounces baby arugula, washed, spun dry
Parmesan Dressing
1 pound assorted summer squash, such as goldbar zucchini, green zucchini, avocado squash, or pattypan squash
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chervil, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tarragon, finely chopped
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved with a peeler
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Divide lettuce and arugula evenly between 4 plates or 1 large platter; drizzle each plate with 1 tablespoon dressing (or 1/4 cup, if using a platter).
  • Using a mandoline, thinly slice zucchini over the lettuce, dividing squash evenly among plates. Drizzle each plate with 2 more tablespoons of dressing (1/2 cup if using a platter). Top with parsley, chives, chervil, tarragon, and Parmesan cheese. Season with pepper and serve immediately.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me.

This salad was a bit too oily for my taste. I'll try it again with less dressing next time.

I'm not a huge fan of summer squash, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing was so good that I could have eaten it on its own.
