Instructions

Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop the center row of seeds with a spoon or melon baller. Cut into strips vertically then chop into small bite-sized pieces.
Chop tomatoes and slice onion into thin strips.
Using the flat side of your knife, smash a large clove of garlic. Peel and mince into a paste. Season with ¼ tsp sea salt and add to a bowl with the veggies.
To the bowl, add olive oil, vinegar, juice of one lemon, freshly cracked black pepper, and fresh basil.
Mix to coat the vegetables and allow to sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Alternatively this salad can be covered and chilled in the fridge until ready to serve.
Ready to eat? Give the veggies a taste and add any additional salt, pepper, and fresh garlic desired. I usually add an extra clove of garlic and an extra pinch of salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Notes

If stored overnight in the fridge the oil will begin to solidify. That's a-ok! Simply bring the mixture back to room temperature before serving and the oil will return to its liquid state.
