For best results, use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to create thin, uniform strips of squash and zucchini. Adjust the amount of lemon juice and black pepper to your liking. If you don't have prosciutto, you can substitute with crispy bacon or pancetta. This salad is best served immediately to prevent the squash from becoming too soggy. Consider adding toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds for extra crunch.
