Greek Ribbon Squash Salad
Isn’t this a beautiful salad? We found it browsing the McCormick’s website and thought it was a perfect Summer Spa Salad. Ribbons of summer squash are dressed in a Greek vinaigrette for an appealing summertime salad. For effortless, paper-thin squash ribbons, use a vegetable peeler or a mandolin. We enjoyed this salad with grilled Halloumi in place of the Feta, for an entree-salad.
