Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup buckwheat groats
1 1/2 pounds yellow summer squash, julienned on a mandoline, or with a knife
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh marjoram or oregano
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces feta, thinly sliced

Steps:

Toast buckwheat in a large, dry skillet over medium-high heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
Toss squash, scallions, mint, marjoram, oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl; season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Add feta and toasted buckwheat and toss gently to combine.
Do ahead: Buckwheat can be toasted 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Tips:

Choose fresh, young summer squash for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons of summer squash.
Be sure to rinse the summer squash well before spiralizing or slicing to remove any dirt or debris.
To save time, you can make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a more flavorful slaw, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish the slaw with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Summer squash slaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright colors and tangy dressing, this slaw is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
