Summer Squash With Dill Recipes

SUMMER SQUASH AND RED RICE SALAD WITH LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Slice the squash as thinly as you can. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse and drain on paper towels.
• Mix together 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice and the garlic. Toss with the squash. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove the squash from the refrigerator and remove the garlic clove. If you want a garlicky dressing, purée the garlic and add it to the remaining lemon juice. Otherwise, discard the garlic. Whisk together the remaining lemon juice and the olive oil with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a salad bowl, combine the squash and whatever liquid is in the bowl, the rice, dill, pine nuts and scallions or chives. Toss with the dressing, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve.
