Summer squash is one of those simple vegetables that fits beautifully into this time of year.
Light, tender and versatile, it works well in bowls, soups and easy side dishes.
One preparation I especially enjoy is raw summer squash ribbons or salad.
Simply slice the squash thin with a peeler and toss with lemon juice, herbs, cucumber and tomatoes for a fresh and colorful dish full of summer flavor.
I love how easy summer squash is to prepare while still feeling nourishing and satisfying.
Have you ever tried summer squash raw?
I’d love to hear your favorite way to enjoy it.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
