Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons basil fresh, chopped
- 1 tablespoon oregano fresh, minced
- 2 cloves garlic fresh, minced
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium zucchini very thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow summer squash very thinly sliced
- 1 medium red onion very thinly sliced
- 5 ounces salami thinly sliced and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
- 2 ounces ricotta salata crumbled but with varying degrees of size
- 2 ounces feta crumbled but with varying degrees of size
optional additions
- heavy whipping cream
- chicken breast grilled, sliced
- green onion sliced
- parmesan cheese
- cheddar cheese
- cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Cut thin slices of salami into 1/2-inch strips and separate the strips. Set the salami aside. Crumble both the ricotta salata and feta making sure to leave some larger chunks for variation.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the wine vinegar, olive oil, freshly chopped basil and minced oregano leaves, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk briskly to ensure the salt dissolves and the mixture is very well emulsified. NOTE: taste the dressing and season if necessary. For a mock-creamy dressing, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and re-whisk.
- Pour the dressing over the squash and onions. Toss to coat and allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes tossing occasionally. Add three quarters of the salami strips and toss.
- Transfer the squash mixture to a large, rimmed platter or bowl. Top with the remaining strips of salami. Scatter the crumbled cheeses over top to garnish and add branches of fresh oregano if desired. If there is dressing left in the casserole dish, spoon just a bit over the mixture until it pools.
