A refreshing and tangy marinated squash salad, perfect for a light and healthy side dish.
Slice the yellow squash into thin rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Using a mandoline slicer ensures uniform slices for even marination.
Add the chopped green onion, diced green bell pepper, and sliced celery to the bowl with the squash.
Ensure all vegetables are evenly sized for a consistent texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste before adding it to the vegetables.
Pour the marinade over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all vegetables are submerged in the marinade for maximum flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even marination.
Serve the marinated squash salad chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor.
