Summer Squash Salad with Lemon Citronette
(Raw, ribboned yellow and green squash tossed with an herbed lemon vinaigrette, pine nuts and feta cheese. Buy the freshest, smallest squash you can find (local/organic will have the best flavor). Salting the squash helps draw out excess moisture, so allow 20 minutes for that step).
Ingredients:
Salad
1/4 cup pine nuts (or slivered almonds or sunflower seeds)
2 pounds zucchini and yellow squash
Salt
1/2 to 1 cup quality feta cheese, crumbled
Citronette
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, pressed or minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint (or tarragon)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
3 tablespoons olive oil

My mom gave me this recipe, so she’s the only one I can give credit to here.
Salad
4 cups broccoli (cut into bite size pieces)
8 cups kale (torn into bite size pieces and massaged until tender)
6 oz crasins (i used regular raisins)
1/3 sunflower kernals (toasted)
Dressing:
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp mustard
1/2 olive oil
1 green onion (which I omitted because I dont have)
Blend all the dressing ingredients together and pour over salad. I used a little less maple syrup and it was still really good.
