Summer Squash Slaw?! yum

Summer Squash Slaw

Summer time salads--nothing better...I bought some summer squash from Natural Springs Garden on Saturday and couldn't wait to eat them!  http://naturalspringsgarden.webs.com/farmstand.htm

I found a recipe on allrecipes.com for a Summer Squash Slaw and adapted it to our tastes--photo (before marinating in fridge) shown above.

Here goes:

• 2 large zucchini squash (I used one green and one yellow) Julienne cut- raw

for the dressing:

• 1/3 red onion rough chopped
• 2 T light miracle whip
• 1 T olive oil
• heaping spoon of garlic
• fresh cracked pepper
• white wine vinegar
• Tablespoon of brown sugar
• cornstarch to thicken it a bit
• stirred the dressing all together and then tossed with the squash into a tight fitting lid container and threw it into the fridge

Of course there are probably a million ways you could change up the dressing and add a bunch of other veggies--went for simple with this being my first try--will eat tonight as a side with dinner!  Why didn't I eat them this past weekend?  My husband of 17 years treated me to Hudson's on the Bend cooking school with Jeff Blank--all I can say is WOW and I highly recommend you do it one day for a special occasion!
