Outstanding flavor for such a simple recipe. I used all baby crook neck squash (summer squash) that I got at the Farmers Market. I doubled the amt of olive oil, lemon juice and rind. In addition to basil and oregano, also used some fresh thyme, chives and mint. The 'salad' was very flavorable. I served with capreses salad of slice heirloom tomatoes, basil, mozarrella, olive oil and balsamic vinegar -- the two salads complimented each other -- also had grilled corn on the corn and grilled steak. Will definitely make the Summer Squash Ribbons again -- wonderful use summer squash -- great summer 'salad'. I think it would be wonderful tossed with pasta -- but it's so good on its own.

Absolutely, positively nothing special. Tried it over linguini as recommended and it came up short in the taste department. Won't make it again.

this recipe is EXCELLENT! i used half of the amount of squash the recipe called for and added in pappardelle pasta. otherwise, i followed the instructions exactly. it was definitely not what i expected . . . in a good way. this was sooooooo delicious! VERY fresh and flavorful.

I thought it was great! I was a little skeptical, because I'm not a fan of uncooked zucchini, but this was a nice surprise.

This dish looks beautiful, and has a delicous taste. Everyone at my dinner party raved about it and asked for the recipe. I loved it the next day too!

My tummy can't tolerate raw squash. I cooked my ribbons in the microwave without water for 3 min. The amount of lemon was a little much, could have been better balanced with more garlic, but maybe my clove was small. I chose to toss this with pasta, which was tasty. One could reduce the amount of olive oil to a couple of teaspoons, thus cut 40 calories right off the top. Also, some chopped tomato is a terrific addition--if fresh is available. If not, then skip it. +++The ribbons is a nice idea, but raw squash not as nice for some.
