Recipes and Information

Summer Squash Salad – thanks to CSA member Kathie for this inspiration, who says that this is a “light, refreshing salad.”

1 cup grated yellow squash

1 cup grated white patty pan squash

1 cup grated yellow patty pan squash

1 cup grated zucchini

½ cup peeled kohlrabi, sliced into matchsticks

½ cup cucumber in your favorite shape

¼ cup minced bell pepper

1 tablespoon minced lemon basil

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

salt and pepper to taste


Wash the veggies well, grate or slice and mix in a large bowl. The squashes and cucumber are young and tender and fresh enough so the peels do not have to be removed. The kohlrabi will need to be peeled. For the salad dressing, mix together the minced lemon basil, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the veggies, lightly toss and enjoy!
