If there's anything else you'd like to include in this when you make it, have at it! But promise me one thing... KEEP IT FRESH! With the exception of the yogurt, everything in this dish was from my CSA or farmer's market. Read more . It's simple stuff, simply prepared, and it is a phenomenal bite of summer. Ingredients:
1 large yellow squash |
4 small ears of sweet corn |
1 small onion |
2 cloves garlic |
2 t fresh dill |
1/2 cup greek yogurt (note: adjust the yogurt volume based on the amount of veggies that will end up in the salad. the yogurt should lightly coat all the ingredients not drown them. the veggies will release liquid that will thin out the sauce, so restrain the urge to go heavy on the yogurt.) |
Directions:
1. Set a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat.
2. Shuck the corn, large dice the squash, medium dice the onion, and mince the garlic and dill.
3. Once the water is boiling place the corn in until cooked, but still maintains some of its crunch (about 5 minutes). Remove corn to a large bowl of ice water.
4. Add diced squash to the boiling water.
5. While the squash is cooking, remove the corn from the ice water and add a few more pieces of ice to the water.
6. Remove the squash pieces to a strainer and submerge it into the ice water and let chill for a minute, gently stirring the squash to expose all the pieces to the water. Remove and let drain.
7. Cut the kernels off of the cobs and place in a large bowl.
8. To the same large bowl, add the drained squash, onion, garlic, dill, and yogurt. Season with salt & pepper, then gently fold the ingredients together.
9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or two.
10. If made right, all the vegetables should still have a decent amount of crunch and there should be a little bit of watery yogurt dressing in the base of the bowl after a few hours.
11. Stir to distribute the dressing and serve alongside anything that makes you want to take off your shoes and walk through the grass.
