The Recipes for Health columnist, Martha Rose Shulman, asked Facebook followers what kind of recipes they wanted to see. Dishes using zucchini and other summer squashes led the list — no surprise at this time of year. Here are five light and flavorful ways to prepare summer squash.
Spicy Grilled Zucchini: This mildly spicy dish from southern Italy can serve as an appetizer or side.
Cumin-Scented Summer Squash Salad: The summer squash is lightly steamed in this North African salad.
Shells With Summer Squash, Corn, Beans and Tomato: You can use canned beans for this dish, but if you happen to have cooked pintos or borlottis in broth, use the broth for the pasta sauce.
Marinated Zucchini Salad: Raw zucchini can be a dull ingredient, but when it’s very thinly sliced it marinates beautifully, especially in lemon juice.
Pan-Cooked Summer Squash With Tomatoes and Basil: This Provençal summer dish is delightful as a starter or as a side dish with fish, chicken or cooked grains.
