Squash Salad

SALATIT KOUSA

Select small green marrow or zucchini type squash. Cook under pressure for 12 minutes. Slice into one-half inch slices. Mix gently with a dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic and finely chopped parsley. Serve tepid. Squash may be sliced before cooking and the time under pressure reduced to eight minutes; however, the vegetable is apt to lose its shape and become less attractive when sliced before cooking.
