Steps:
- (To cook the spaghetti squash, if you haven't yet: preheat oven to 350 degrees F; slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds; poke holes all over the squash with the tip of a knife; spray a cooking sheet with pan spray and bake the squash halves face down for 30 to 40 minutes or until easily pierced by a fork; let cool until they can be handled, then gently scoop out the insides with a fork - they will form into spaghetti-like strands).
- In a bowl, combine the vinegars, olive oil, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and garlic and whisk well.
- In another bowl, combine the squash, tomato, cucumber, feta, bell pepper, onion, onions, olives, and garbanzo beans, then add the whisked vinegar mixture and toss well.

GREEK-STYLE SALAD WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Steps:
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Stir well w/ a whisk. Combine squash and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add vinegar mixture; toss well. Cover & chill.
Tips:
- Use a variety of squash. The recipe calls for zucchini, yellow squash, and pattypan squash, but you can use any type of squash you like. Just make sure they are all about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you are frying the squash, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the squash will steam instead of fry and they will be soggy.
- Cook the squash until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the squash is cooked through and has a nice caramelized flavor.
- Season the squash to taste. You can use any seasonings you like, but salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano are a good place to start.
- Serve the squash hot. Greek-style squash is best served hot, right out of the pan. You can serve it as a side dish or main course.
Conclusion:
Greek-style squash is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The squash is fried until golden brown and then seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. It is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course.
