My Marinated Squash Salad with Feta & Olives is a no-cook, extremely flavorful side salad that uses some of the best of this season’s produce.  Simply slice yellow squash a zucchini lengthwise with a vegetable peeler, marinate the squash for at least 30 minutes in a tangy mixture of vinegar, oil, salt and a touch of sugar and then toss the slightly briny salad with creamy feta cheese, a mixture of olives, buttery pine nuts and fresh herbs.  A healthy side salad that that would work well at your next pot luck, grill out, or weeknight dinner with friends and family.
