The height of summer is indeed the best time to make this salad (see recipe below) – right when the squash is coming in so much that everyone has more than their share. If you can sneak down to the Gulf to grab some fresh shrimp, then this salad will really stand out, particularly when you add Stripling's Vidalia Onion Summer Tomato Dressing. But for whatever your chosen purposes, this dressing has no fat and no cholesterol, so it's great when serving a crowd of folks who may be in a health-conscious mode.
