Shaved Zucchini, Summer Squash & Carrot Salad Tossed in Pesto | Cooking with Genee Habansky
Genee Habansky of Herbaceous Catering of Fairfield offers her favorite Summer recipes. http://herbaceouscatering.com/
Summer squash are so versatile. And when they come, they come a plenty. If you grow them in your garden, I would advise to check on them daily. You may find one the size of your arm if a few days pass without checking! There are so many beautiful dishes that can be made with squash. This one is raw, and looks a lot like pasta. All you need is a vegetable peeler. One of my most popular salads for a summer party!
Ingredients:
- 4 green zucchini
- 4 yellow summer squash
- 4 carrots
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup walnuts toasted
- 1 cup basil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 cup parmesan
- 2/3 cup Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Start by making the pesto. In a food processor, pulse walnuts, garlic, basil and parmesan.
- Start your food processor and slowly drizzle in olive oil until fully incorporated and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Peel and shave the carrots with vegetable peeler.
- Peel then shave zucchini and summer squash to the core.
- Half cherry tomatoes.
- Toss together vegetables with pesto, salt and pepper to taste!
