Ribboned Squash & Zucchini Salad
A fresh and elegant salad featuring shaved zucchini and yellow squash ribbons, tossed with cherry tomatoes, creamy goat cheese, and a sweet balsamic reduction. Perfectly light and healthy!
Equipment
- Vegetable Peeler
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 small zucchini
- 1 small yellow squash
- 2/3 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic salt
- 2 oz honey goat cheese
- 1 tbsp balsamic reduction
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
Instructions
- Prep the Veggies: Trim the ends off your fresh zucchini and yellow squash. Using a standard vegetable peeler, shave them lengthwise into gorgeous, thin ribbons.
- Toast the Pine Nuts: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the pine nuts for about 3 to 5 minutes until they are golden and aromatic, then set them aside.
- Quick Sauté: In the same skillet, warm the heart-healthy olive oil. Toss in your squash ribbons, halved cherry tomatoes, and garlic salt. Sauté gently for just 2 to 3 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.
- Assemble and Drizzle: Transfer the warm veggie mixture to a serving dish. Toss gently with the toasted pine nuts and creamy goat cheese, then drizzle with the sweet balsamic reduction. Serve immediately and enjoy!
