Avocado-Mushroom-Zucchini Salad
Here's a fresh and tangy salad that only takes a couple of minutes to make. It's particularly good in late spring or early summer when avocados are in season
Layered Zucchini Bake Recipe
There are all kinds of zucchini layer or lasagna-style dishes. I like this particular recipe because it's like a lasagna without the extra carbs from noodles.
Squash-Tomato Cassoulet Recipe
This recipe came to me via my husband's grandmother. It's one of my favorites because I can make it the night before and pop it in the oven the next day.
Zucchini Delight Recipe
This is a simple side dish that blends zucchini, onion, and tomato with a touch of basil to make a delicious oven bake side dish for chicken or beef.
Zucchini Torre Recipe
Another hearty dish of Mexican origin, this one is sort of like an Italian Zucchini casserole but with a little extra tomato and more spicy zing.
New Mexico-Style Calabacitas
Calabacitas is a Mexican style dish that uses small, green summer squash. I've found, however, that any type of summer squash—green, yellow, etc.—works well.
Creole Style Summer Squash
A spicy dish that's a good way to use larger squash. While I have it listed as a side dish, it's hearty enough to work as a main course as well.
Spicy Summer Squash Dip
A spicy dip made from summer squash that works well with fresh vegetables as well as a topping for cottage cheese, potatoes, etc.
Summer Squash Appetizer
A delicious snack made with squash, bacon and onion, and a little zing courtesy of catsup and lemon juice. Very tasty with a little bit of crunch.
French Fried Squash Sticks
Battered sticks of squash lightly fried for delicious flavor (just like in your favorite pub, but better!). Serve with ranch dip and / or hot sauce
