Italian Squash Salad in the Mixing Bowl

Italian Squash Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing, add more as needed.

Directions:

  1. Use a vegetable peeler and cut lengthwise across the summer squash and zucchini to make very thin slices.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine squash, zucchini, chopped onion, and enough dressing to coat the vegetables.
  3. Put a cover on the bowl and let it marinate over night. Serve chilled.
This recipe is very flexible. You could use cucumber instead of the zucchini, add thinly cut carrot strips, or add fresh herbs from your garden. The possibilities are limited only by what you have in your garden or refrigerator.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
