Summer Squash and Herb Salad with Almonds and Parmesan
- Makes4 servings
- Cook Time30 minutes
This quick, yet elegant salad is the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats or a simple pasta dish. Crisp yet tender summer squash and crunchy toasted almonds create a salad full of contrasts, while plenty of fresh herbs take the place of traditional salad greens. Any salty, aged cheese, such as manchego or aged Gouda, could be substituted for the Parmesan.
Tip
Don't dress the salad until you are ready to serve. The herbs are delicate and wilt quickly. Also, don't forget to cut out the core from each squash quarter. The soft, porous center will soak up dressing and become mushy.
