This Crunchy Lemon-Pesto Garden Salad is a real celebration of all your garden’s vegetable patch this summer. The dressing for this salad is a flavor sensation – it will transport you all the way to Italy!
Start by preparing the lemon pesto dressing. Prepare the squash and cucumbers by slicing them thinly. Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Pour over the dressing and toss well to combine. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top to serve.
