- 2 large yellow summer squashes
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

Using a vegetable peeler, create ribbons from the summer squashes and zucchinis. Place the ribbons in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the squash ribbons and toss gently to coat.
Add the thinly sliced basil leaves and toasted pine nuts, and gently mix them into the salad.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates, and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese before serving.
