Baked Summer Squash with Lemon, Mint, and Feta – Kalyn's Kitchen

This delicious summer salad combines thin ribbons of zucchini with toasted pine nuts, fresh mint, and salty feta. It's a refreshing and satisfying dish that highlights the abundance of zucchini available during the summer season.

Creating Beautiful Zucchini Ribbons

To achieve the paper-thin ribbons, you can use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler. If you're skilled with a mandoline, set it to the desired thickness and slice the zucchini lengthwise. For those who struggle with a mandoline, a vegetable peeler will do just fine. Apply even pressure as you work to create the beautiful green and white ribbons.
