I threw the original version of this together on the fly before an event. It was so well received I figured I should cobble together an actual recipe.

1 tspdry thyme leaves

1 tspgarlic powder

½ cuppeach balsamic vinegar

2 Tbspsoy sauce

1zest of lemon

1 cupextra virgin olive oil

1 Tbspdijon mustard

1 tspsalt

1 tspblack pepper
freshly cracked, more to taste
Instructions
Step 1
Add dill, thyme, garlic powder, vinegar, peach preserves (if using), soy sauce, lemon zest, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl or tall narrow mixing container if using immersion blender.
Step 2
Mix or blend until well combined and emulsified. Set aside.
Step 3
Top and tail zucchini, slice into roughly 3 inch by 1/4 inch batons. Place into a large mixing bowl. Optionally you could also use a spiralizer to process your zucchini into zoodles.
Step 4
Trim tail off of yellow squash. Grate squash through standard sized grater holes. Squeeze out some liquid if very wet. Add grated squash to the mixing bowl.
Step 5
Quarter grape tomatoes and add to the mixing bowl.
Step 6
Halve and peel 1/2 of a large red onion. Cut the half into quarters but not quite through to the root. Thinly slice the onion equatorially. Add to mixing bowl.
Step 7
Add your previously prepared vinaigrette to the mixing bowl. Toss to coat well and evenly distribute all of the ingredients. This is a very wet salad on purpose, don't freak out if it's "soupy".
Step 8
Can be served immediately but is better after a day in the fridge to allow everything to get to know each other. Serve using a slotted spoon to drain off some dressing.
