For those with half shares, this is “A” week.

Serving Suggestions:

• In Cooks Illustrated, I recently read an article about veggie recipes requiring no cooking. Essentially they were relying on smashing and acids to break down the cell walls and soften the veggies. When I started searching for unique summer squash recipes today the first one that popped up on Google was for an uncooked Smashed Summer Squash Salad (#3 on the list). Perfect timing! Don’t forget to drain the smashed and salted squash to get rid of all that excess moisture.
