This is delish! Try cutting sugar by using measurable sweetener.
Really! What is the matter with you? Our kids don't need sugar!!
This is incredible! I made it exactly as written for a large gathering. Everyone raved about how good it was. A keeper for sure
I wasn't sure how I would like eating raw squash and zucchini. I followed the recipe exact. The family absolutely loved it...great success. When the zucchinis come in here shortly, this will be a summer staple for us. Glad I came across this recipe. Thank you for publishing.
This squash salad was great! Mine did not get soggy and stayed crunchy even after a second day in the refrigerator. It does make a lot, so it is a good side dish to bring to a family function.
I made this salad for a family cookout and everyone loved it. I am emailing it to them.Lorrie NH
Excellent. Would be great with cucumbers too. Still crispy the next day.
I made this for a side at a BBQ this past weekend, and it was a big hit - even among non-veggie lovers. It was very refreshing and light. I was originally planning to maybe steam the squash, but sliced it thin, left it raw, and it was perfect. Very colorful and pretty dish too.
I had a potluck dinner to go to and had to work. that morning I made this salad and let it sit in the fridge until the dinner. talk about easy. I had never made it but it went together like a snap!! I came home with no salad everyone wanted the recipe.
A big hit at potlucks!!
