To Assemble

  1. Thinly slice some squash. Toss it with slivers of fresh mint and house vinaigrette (recipe below). Then top with toasted almonds and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Voila. Tastes like… summer! Healthy but filling.

House Vinaigrette

  1. Combine vinegar, mustard, garlic, shallots, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender; blend thoroughly.
  2. Gradually add olive oil and vegetable oil while machine is running. The mixture should emulsify – – come together — into a relatively thick consistency.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
