This is pretty good - very versatile, would be great to take to a BBQ or potluck, yet simple enough to keep in the fridge to take for lunches. It could also be a great base - add some protein (black beans, grilled shrimp, left over chicken) and you've got an easy complete meal. Next time I will add more onion.

We loved this salad. I think the trick is to use very fresh young zukes and to cut the pieces very thin. The serving size is quite generous. Had this tonight with the Bayou Catfish Fillets and a rice pilaf. Perfect dinner!

Nice flavor, found this while searching for weight watcher worthy meals. I added shrimp and made it a meal. It's a keeper!

Fabulous dish - easily comes together and lovely to serve with grilled anything when friends come over, ready in the fridge. Love the vinaigrette and use it on greens as well.
