Summer Squash Salad
At a recent visit to my Pop's house for dinner, he made a very delicious summer salad for us. I asked him for the recipe & he told me where I could find it .
Then, this past Sunday the family & I visited the new Farmer's Market over at Fodor Farm. It's a local community garden, which I wrote about today, as a guest blogger, on Fairfield County Child.
They happened to have most of the ingredients I needed for the salad.
Some zucchini and yellow summer squash,
some red scallions,
(Which I rarely ever see, much less ones that look like this. If you cannot find red scallions, you can use regular ones)
and some sweet peas.
You'll need about a pound of fresh peas.
Which you need to shell,
into a bowl.
Then you need to bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil,
and blanch the peas for about 2 minutes,
and drain.
Next, take 2 red scallions,
clean them up,
and thinly slice them.
Put them in a bowl with the blanched peas.
Next, take the zucchini & squash,
and thinly slice them.
Put them in the bowl.
Then you'll need some fresh basil. Which, I could have picked up at the market, but didn't since I had some growing here.
You only need about a tablespoon of minced basil, but I used a bit more. Add that to the bowl.
Next up...some feta cheese.
About 2 ounces,
crumbled into the bowl.
Then add 3 tablespoons of olive oil,
the juice of half a lemon, some salt and pepper.
Then mix and serve.

thanks for the guest post. i love it! :)
what kind of camera do you have? your pix are fantabulous!
I just made this, and it is DELICIOUS. I added cherry tom's and left the snap peas in their shell because the peas I was getting out of them were puny...but it was still great! Thanks for this one!!
