Squash, Squash, Squash...

It's that time of year when the garden is overflowing with squash. We happen to love it and will have it everyday while it's available, but it becomes a challenge finding new ways to serve it. Today I mixed together this cool, refreshing salad.

Summer Squash Salad

• 2 medium yellow squash, chopped or sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1 red or green jalapeno chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sweet marjoram
  

Dressing~

• 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1 clove garlic pressed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

In a medium bowl, mix together the squash, peppers, onions, celery and herbs.
Mix together the dressing ingredients and pour over the vegetables. Toss to combine and chill.

Cooks note: I love sweet marjoram and have an abundance of it in my garden. If you can't find it, oregano is a great substitute, or really any herb that you happen to like.
I find it so easy to make my dressings in a mason jar. One with a screw top and the measurements on the side. Add all the ingredients and shake it up to blend.
