Roasting vegetables is super easy and super healthy, especially yellow squash and zucchini. In the winter, I oven roast vegetables and in the summer I grill them. Either way, they are easy and delicious. Squash is a versatile vegetable because it can be eaten warm or cold or at room temperature. This Summer Squash Salad uses the best of garden fresh summer squashes, yellow and zucchini, for a low in calorie and big in flavor salad. It uses tangy balsamic, creamy feta and fresh parsley to enhance the subtle flavors of the squash. The result, a salad you’ll be craving all year long.
