Here's a great way to use summer's abundant squashes. Toasted pine nuts and briny kalamata olives make this salad a standout. Prep and Cook Time: about 1 1/4 hours. Notes: Ingredients can be prepped and pasta cooked a day ahead of time and chilled (add 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil to the cooked pasta). Toss everything together just before serving.
A simple mixture of toasted walnuts and sherry vinegar provides a rich, yet good-for-you dip for the artichoke leaves. Remove the leaves and dip into walnut vinaigrette, using your teeth to scrape the meat found on the inside of the artichoke leaf. Make sure to remove the fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke before eating the heart. [LINK]Skip to main content
