Zephyr Squash Ribbons Recipe With Almond Salsa Verde Is Almost Too Pretty to Eat by Mee McCormick
The beauty of a summer. garden is that every week we welcome an old friend we’ve not seen since the previous summer to the table. Zephyr squash is beautiful because it looks as if someone tie-dyed the bottom green and the top yellow. It’s mild and delicious.
You can use any summer squash or zucchini in this easy squash salad recipe. Summer squashes have a lot of water in them, which aids digestion. I also rotate the nuts that I use in this recipe.
