Snow Pea and Summer Squash Salad with Goat Cheese
This bright salad pairs crisp snow peas with silky summer squash, the two briefly cooked together in the microwave. We meld the vegetables and balance their sweetness with a simple vinaigrette and creamy, tangy fresh goat cheese (or feta, if you prefer). Steeping the sliced onion in the vinegar for a few minutes mellows its raw allium bite, so don’t skip this step.

Tip
Don’t forget to stir the squash-snow pea mixture about halfway through microwaving to ensure the vegetables cook evenly. And after microwaving, don’t forget to pour off the liquid the mixture releases during cooking or it will water down the salad.
