Shaved Zucchini, Summer Squash & Carrot Salad Tossed in Pesto
Summer squash are so versatile. And when they come, they come a plenty. If you grow them in your garden, I would advise to check on them daily. You may find one the size of your arm if a few days pass without checking! There are so many beautiful dishes that can be made with squash. This one is raw, and looks a lot like pasta. All you need is a vegetable peeler. One of my most popular salads for a summer party!

4 green zucchini
4 yellow summer squash
4 carrots
1 pint cherry tomatoes
