RECIPE
SQUASH + ZUCCHINI GREEK SALAD

I love squash and zucchini, and I also love classic Greek flavors like feta cheese, fresh-squeezed lemon, and a good olive oil. I combine the two with this quick-and-easy salad that makes the most of these late summer harvest vegetables. You can craft this salad as an appetizer, as a side dish, or make it an entree by addition steamed and chilled shrimp or a poached and chilled fish, such as salmon, on top. It’s also great with a crab cake as a crown. Here’s how I make it.

Take one small yellow squash and one small zucchini, both washed and trimmed, cut into small cubes, and add to a medium-sized bowl. Add a cup of crumbled feta cheese, three tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, a tablespoon of fresh oregano, a tablespoon of fresh time, about one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and the zest of a half lemon, and coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. 

Toss, cover, and refrigerate at least one hour before serving. Yields about four generous side portions or two entree portions.
