Author Notes
This salad surprised me with it's goodness. I wasn't so sure how raw squash would turn out but I'll go ahead and tell you it was a great dish. Perfect for when you want to throw a salad together with minimal cooking time. The dressing is simple and the flavors really pop with the crunchy prosciutto and tangy feta.
This salad would pack well for a picnic or if you're worried about the toppings just bring them in separate bags and toss in at the last minute. It's quite beautiful too, isn't it? Serve it up to impress and I'm sure you will.
