Making and Use of Pickled Squash

Pickling allows you to preserve foods in a brine for storage. Pickled squash may be zucchini, butternut, pumpkin or any number of gourd varieties. Pickling makes the squash salty. This means adding it to foods will enhance the flavor and give it a salty taste. Once the pickling is done, finding ways to use the squash is not difficult. You can serve it cold or combine to create a sauce for sandwiches.
Sauce
Step 1
Dice the pickled squash until you have 3/4 to 1 cup.
Step 2
Empty one jar of mayonnaise into a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Combine the diced squash into the mayonnaise, stirring to spread thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and use the mixture to spice up sandwiches.
Vegetable Platter
Step 1
Prepare a platter of fresh, chopped vegetables. For example, chop fresh broccoli, cauliflower and carrots.
Step 2
Add the pickled squash slices to the platter by mixing them with the other vegetable pieces or creating a separate section on the plate.
Step 3
Pour your choice of salad dressing into a serving bowl and place it near the platter or in the center of the vegetables to use as dipping sauce.
Salad
Step 1
Mix together the ingredients for a salad in a bowl. For instance, tear up leaf lettuce, slice tomatoes and add chopped egg or meat.
Step 2
Add the pickled squash slices to the bowl. Use as many slices as you want for the salad.
Step 3
Toss the ingredients in the bowl and serve with a vinaigrette dressing.
