Summer Squash Salad

"Fast, easy, light, and good! I love this during the summer. The preparation time is about how long it takes me; it really depends upon how fast you can chop and whisk. :)"

  1. Great recipe for the garden squash. We loved this one ! The only changes I made were using one small onion from our garden in place of the shallots. I also used 2 lemons and one lime and dried dill. It had a wonderful fresh flavor and will be a frequent treat around here. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. A delightful salad! I cut it in half for the two of us and it was just right. I did add a little Splenda to the lemon juice as we don't like things to tart, but that is a personal preference. I also threw in some sun dried tomatoes (Recipe # 70005) and they added color as well as a little more flavor. Thanks for a healthy, refreshing salad. Carole in Orlando

Behold, the worst picture of me ever taken, I think. I'm in distress over the paint color that you see behind me, and am suffering from brain scramble after looking at too many potential paint colors over a very short amount of time. However, it's one of those "me, now" pics that amuse me, so I figured I'd share. Onward... Hi there! Self description always throws me, but I'll try: I'm a hyper, writing, Yoga-practicing, fashion-loving, almost-constantly-reading, very Type A, highly domestic ovo-lacto vegetarian who is obsessed with Nutella and has a very personable German Shepherd/Husky mix named Totsi. I think that just about covers it. Sometimes, everyone needs a little Totsi, so here she "bee": <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a44/gokittengo/almostdone.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
