Summer Squash Slaw with Feta and Toasted Buckwheat (Serves 4)
courtesy of Courtesy of Bon Appetit
Summer squash is easy to overcook and it can be too mushy. Solution: Eat it raw! If you can't find buckwheat groats, use chopped toasted almonds instead. But I do see buckwheat groats in bulk section of many local grocery stores.
Ingredients
1/4 cup buckwheat groats
1 1/2 pounds green and yellow summer squash, julienned on a mandoline, or with a knife
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh marjoram or oregano
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces feta, thinly sliced
