Sliced Zucchini and Yellow Squash Salad image

This colorful dish is dressed with olive oil, lemon, Parmesan, and salt. Use young squash for this recipe -- larger squash have too many seeds and are more fibrous.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 ounces small, tender yellow squash (about 3)
10 ounces small, tender zucchini (about 3)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons
1/2 ounce Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Using a mandoline, very thinly slice the yellow squash into rounds and the zucchini lengthwise. Arrange the squash rounds and zucchini slices on six salad plates. Sprinkle the rounds and slices with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over them. Very thinly shave the Parmesan cheese directly on top, and serve with the other lemon cut into wedges.

MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD



Marinated Zucchini Salad image

Raw zucchini can be a dull ingredient, but when it's very thinly sliced it marinates beautifully, especially in lemon juice. I like to use a mixture of green and yellow squash here. Assemble this dish at least four hours before you wish to serve it, so that the squash has time to soften and soak up the lemony marinade.

1 pound medium or small zucchini, preferably a mix of green and yellow
Salt to taste

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup olive oil
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 pounds assorted summer squashes and zucchini, quartered lengthwise, sliced
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper, plus more for serving
12 ounces paccheri, ziti, or other large tube pasta
2 ounces Parmesan, grated (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving

Cook, tossing occasionally, until squash begins to break down and gets jammy (they may start to stick to the skillet a bit, which means you are there!), 12-15 minutes. Toss in 1 tsp. Aleppo-style pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente.
  • Transfer pasta to skillet using a slotted spoon or spider and add 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid. Cook pasta, adding 2 oz. Parmesan in stages along with more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta and pasta is al dente. Toss in lemon juice and most of the basil.
