Squash “Noodle” Salad

Squash “Noodle” Salad

I posted a recipe for Red Onion Relish yesterday. I got a lot of nice response to it. A number of people asked what they could use it for, so I decided to share this recipe with you. It’s pretty simple, actually. I got a spiralizer for Christmas (Thanks, Sarah). It’s a fun gadget that lets you make long thin shreds out of all sorts of veggies. If you don’t have one, you can just shred the squash with a grater or food processor. Once the squash are shredded, just add some of the red onion relish and a few other ingredients and you are done. Very simple and pretty darn tasty.

Squash “Noodle” Salad

1 zucchini
1 yellow summer squash
1 c. red onion relish
3-4 T. oil
1 t. hot sauce, or a little more
Salt to taste

Use a spiralizer to make “noodles” out of the squash or shred them finely, lengthwise. Place in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. When you go to use the onion relish, make the mix about half solids and half liquid. You want the liquid from the relish to be the dressing in the salad. Toss to blend, adjust seasonings. Serves 4.
