Summer makes me want to cook more, and to eat more veggies (And my favorite farmer's market started back up a few weeks ago! Yay!). What are your favorite ways to prepare and/or serve summer vegetables

I think it's always the freshness that makes a difference. Fresh mozzarella is way more satisfying so I end up eating less of it. I use the part-skim for cooking since it has less water content and melts better

A couple weeks ago I was on a cucumber-tomato salad kick, too -- just the mater and cumber diced up with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and cracked pepper. Over lettuce. Nom.
I had marinated summer squash from rawrawfoods.com a couple weeks ago.
Cubed zucchini and yellow squash, with sun-dried tomato, olive oil, onion, oregano, basil, dill and sea salt.
I'm not quite sure what their process was, but the result was tasty. I have acquired a zucchini and two squashes and will be attempting something similar.
Hmm I love making cacık (aka tzatziki) for a refreshing summer salad.
-A container (roughly 3 cups) of plain yogurt -2 cucumbers, skinned and diced small -one clove of garlic, diced -sprinkling of dill -fresh mint -tablespoon of olive oil
If you want the cacık to be nice and thick then drain the yogurt overnight using many layers of cheesecloth or a sterile handkerchief. Cloth does best because the yogurt will find a way through cheesecloth. You will end up with a thick, cream cheese-like yogurt often called labneh. Sooo good. Oh and mix the other ingredients in, chill for an hour and enjoy!
