Shaved Summer Squash with Almond Salsa Verde

When shaved into long, thin ribbons, summer squash more readily soaks up flavor—plus, it’s fun to eat.

• 
  
  1/2 cup finely chopped toasted blanched almonds
  
  


• 
  
  1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  
  


• 
  
  1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  
  


• 
  
  1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  
  


• 
  
  2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
  
  


• 
  
  1-1/2 Tbs. chopped capers
  
  


• 
  
  1 Tbs. minced shallots
  
  


• 
  
  1 tsp. minced garlic
  
  


• 
  
  1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  
  


• 
  
  Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
  


• 
  
  1-1/4 lb. yellow squash and green zucchini, trimmed and cut in half crosswise
  
  

In a large bowl, combine the almonds, cilantro, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, capers, shallots, garlic, and kosher salt.

Shave the squash and zucchini into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Toss with the salsa verde, sea salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil and serve.
