Chef's Notes

  • This salad is a great way to use all your squash from the garden during the summer.  Adding nuts to salads increases healthy fats, fiber, and protein.
  • Liven up your lunch and dinner with this nutrient dense vegetable salad. The healthy fats in the walnuts allow for optimal absorption of the vitamin A found in the summer squash.  A perfect pairing!
