My very picky husband made yummy noises the whole time he ate this. When he was done, I overheard him telling my granddaughter that was the best salad he ever ate! I might have to plant a garden next year just for this recipe!

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.
