Summer Squash Salad Sliders

Recipe Author: Conne Ward Cameron

Jon Wolf of The Terrace on Peachtree at The Ellis Hotel demoed this recipe at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market five years ago. It’s such a nice idea – raw, chopped vegetables as a slider – that I’m resurrecting it here. You could serve this as a simple salad as well, but it’s kind of fun to surprise people with a vegetable sandwich.

Ingredients:

2 cups 1/4-inch diced squash 1 tomato, cut into 1/4-inch dice, seeds and gel removed 1 bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 hot pepper, if desired, finely minced Salt and pepper 2 cups Greek yogurt 1 minced clove garlic 1/4 cup minced mint leaves Slider buns

Preparation:

In a large bowl, combine squash, tomato, bell pepper, onion and hot pepper if using. Add yogurt, garlic and mint and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning. Serve inside slider buns or as a simple salad.
