Hot salmon is topped with an uncooked, refreshingly cool sauce made from basil, tomatoes, garlic pine nuts, and a dash of vinegar and oil. It is the perfect dish for a hot summer evening. I love how fast and easy
Here's a great way to use summer's abundant squashes. Toasted pine nuts and briny kalamata olives make this salad a standout. Prep and Cook Time: about 1 1/4 hours. Notes: Ingredients can be prepped and pasta cooked a day ahead of time and chilled (add 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil to the cooked pasta). Toss everything together just before serving.

I made this spooky treat the other night for Family Home Evening. It was one of those days spent hurrying from thing to thing, and it was FHE time before I knew it. You know those kind of days.
