Use golden squash shoots stacked, piled, or otherwise arranged as a garnish. Besides putting them on top of food or floating them in soups, you can arrange them below food as a flavorful bed for meat, poultry, or seafood.
You can also add them to salads by either piling them on top or tossing them with the other greens. Use them instead of sprouts or lettuce on sandwiches to give them a more elegant appearance and interesting texture.
