This vibrant courgette and squash salad is a wonderful way to celebrate seasonal produce during the warmer months. By marinating the thinly sliced vegetables in a sharp red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard dressing, the squash softens slightly while absorbing a punchy, savoury flavour. It creates a beautiful contrast against the peppery rocket and juicy tomatoes, making it a sophisticated yet simple vegan dish for any lunch table.
Ideal as a light standalone meal or a refreshing side for a summer barbecue, this salad is as nutritious as it is colourful. The crisp, raw textures provide a high-fibre option that feels incredibly fresh. For the best results, serve it immediately after assembly to ensure the rocket stays perfectly crisp while the marinated vegetables remain the star of the show.

Ingredients for Squash Salad
2 each small courgette and yellow squash, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
45ml extra-virgin olive oil
1 large bunch rocket, trimmed, washed, and patted dry
1 large ripe tomato, cored
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
How to make Squash Salad
Cut the courgette and squash in thin slices on the diagonal; place in a bowl.
Prepare the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly until thickened. Toss with the squash. Let rest 10 minutes.
Place the rocket in a salad bowl. Cut the tomato in half lengthwise and then into very thin wedges; scatter over the greens.
Before serving, spoon the squash and dressing over rocket. Sprinkle with parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, tossing at the table.
