Squash Pasta Salad with Vegan Two-Herb Pesto
Pesto is an ideal sauce for squash noodles because it sticks to the veggie strips and coats them with a rich flavor. Here, the pesto is made using both cilantro and fresh basil, with Bragg’s Liquid Aminos standing in for Parmesan.

A lemony marinade lightly “cooks” thin strips of zucchini in this tender Mediterranean salad. You can sub other fresh summer herbs for the parsley and mint. For uniformly wide squash noodles, use a mandoline to thinly slice veggies.
