No Cook Summer Squash

This month the theme is squash.  I am going to include summer and winter squash as much variety as I can find, so you will experience not only side dishes, but salads and desserts as well.

I am starting with this simple summer squash salad,  It is easy to make and can be enhanced with fresh rather than dry herbs.

This quick and easy salad is full of protein and vegetable goodness.  And it uses the end of season garden bounty to the fullest. A perfect vegan recipe for a no meat Monday.
