Grated Summer Squash with Truffle Pecorino
- 4 small summer squash (green or yellow or a mixabout 1 pound total)
- 2-inch chunk truffle pecorino cheese
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, more as needed
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Kosher salt
- Trim the squash, grate on the large holes of a box grater, and transfer to a medium bowl.
- Finely grate enough of the cheese to make 1/4 cup and add to the bowl.
- Use a vegetable peeler on the remaining chunk of cheese to make a small pile of cheese shards, and set them aside.
- Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the squash, add a few large pinches of salt, and mix well.
- Taste and add more lemon juice or salt as needed.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and sprinkle the cheese shards over the top of the salad.
- Because squash has so much water, it starts to wilt and release liquid as soon as it comes into contact with salt.
- So for best results, serve this salad within minutes of making it.
