Share in summer’s harvest with Villeroy and Boch pasta bowls. Great year round for pasta, salads and this yummy treat.
Summer squash salads are a wonderful and healthy meal during these warm summer months.
With clean eating a strong focus, we are loving this summer squash salad. It is almost like a yummy pasta dish, but without the pasta (ie., carbs, wheat and calories). The summer squash does a great job as a flavor carrier, so this dish gives off a rich and hearty flavor of sweet blistered tomatoes, garlic and thyme. This recipe is a meal if you want it to be or a fabulous side to your barbeque meats. Enjoy!
