Don't Lock Your Car This Summer

The summer time joke

is that you need to lock your car or someone with a green thumb and a garden will leave zucchini in your car while you're not watching. Well don't lock your car! Here is a wonderful recipe sent in from Judy at 6:15 in Epsom

• 2 medium to large zucchini

• 2 medium to large summer squash

• 6 large leaves fresh basil

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp pepper

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (can substitute slivered almonds)

Use vegetable peeler lenghtwise on zucchini & squash (stop at seeded core - can chop up core for spaghetti sauce, etc.) & put in large bowl. Remove basil leaves from stalks (discard stalks) & chop leaves & add to bowl. In separate small bowl whisk together lemon juice, oil, salt & pepper. Drizzle over salad & add chopped nuts. Serve immediately 3 servings, increase all ingredients to serve more. Great topped with grilled chicken or turkey! Try it! Quick & Easy! Thank you Judy. In case you are over run with zucchini Judy comes to train at 6:15 in Epsom, I'll point out her car to you. :) To your best health, Nancy
