I made this recipe last summer for a surprise party and it was a hit. Made it several times through the summer. Went to look for the recipe again this summer and I could not find that issue, so searched hard and long to find again! Simple enough to make just couldn't remember the recipe this year! My whole family loved this salad and an easy way to use the bountiful summer squash and basil or any other of your favorite herbs.

I slice the squash into thin discs instead of length-wise. It's easier to eat, and fun to arrange into artsy patterns. For herbs, I use combo of flat parsley, thyme, basil and oregano. Husband loves it.

Took some time to thinly slice, but it was really tasty. I didnt put cheese on it and it was still really good and I dont typically like raw squash. The lemon juice cooks it.

My daugher helped with this one. The top layer she trimmed the slices and layed them out as a flower. It was a gorgous presentation. Layered squash and zuke's with a drizzle of white truffle oil & olive oil, lemon juice, the herb mixture (everything we could find from our garden, added some diced garlic to them with the shallots and then added some parm. The pecorino is strong so leave it until the end. We added everything but that to each of 5 layers. Let it macerate for a few hours and served slightly chilled. A keeper.

Just seeing the picture made me want to try this. After I read the recipe, I definitely knew I had to make it. Really glad I did. It was fantastic! Delicious and full of so many flavors, it made a great side dish. I am a big fan of anything with basil, lemon and olive oil. You can taste all the individual ingredients but they all compliment each other. It has very light and refreshing flavors.
This is almost addictive! The layering takes the most time but the end result is well worth it. I WILL make this again. Thanks for another terrific recipe FN!

Simple recipe with layers of flavor and complexity. My favorite herbs are basil and parsley with any hard Italian cheese or mint, red oinion and feta. You can always add a vine ripe tomatoe as well.

Just made this recipe and it was awsome! Didn't have any summer squash so made it with zucchini only. Did not layer it like it said, just put all in a bowl big enough to gently stir after all was in. Also used Gruyere cheese instead as that is what I had. Paired it with a NY Strip steak. The fresh crispy flavors danced in my mouth!! Definately a keeper and I will make it again and again!!

So I saw this recipe a few days ago while looking for wonderfully tasting, yet healthy foods. I was skeptical at first since I've never made a "salad" with only zucchini and squash. Wow, what a pleasant surprise. It was light, fresh, and very well balanced. I changed it by adding some white peach vinegar to the mix, and used parmesan cheese along with fresh basil and Italian parsley for the herbs. I think some good aged balsamic vinegar would also do a great job to add an extra hint of flavor. This will be a lunch time go to as well as a dinner that can stand on it's own when needed. It's a great substitute especially when you're dieting and want something that tastes great!
