Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Whisk oil, vinegar and herbs in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/4 cup dressing to medium bowl; add mushrooms and toss to coat. Transfer 1/4 cup dressing to large bowl; add zucchini, yellow squash and bell pepper and toss to coat.
- Preheat broiler. Arrange vegetables on broiler pan. Cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer vegetables to platter. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining dressing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash. Summer squash, such as zucchini and yellow squash, are best for this salad because they are tender and have a mild flavor. If you are using winter squash, such as butternut or acorn squash, be sure to roast it until it is tender before adding it to the salad.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of colors and textures. This will make the salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. For example, you could use red, yellow, and green bell peppers, and a combination of summer and winter squash.
- Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices will add flavor and depth to the salad. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and cumin.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make this salad, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add some crumbled cheese, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
Conclusion:
Squash, pepper, and onion salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a new salad to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
