Narrow zucchini work best for this recipe so the peeler won't rip the edges of the ribbons. A wide peeler, such as a Y-shaped version, is ideal.

This was a great complement to the Tuna Scallopine recipe. I had enough left over for lunch.

We really enjoyed this salad. It is a great combination of flavors and was a light dish on a hot summer night. I will prepare it again as zucchini is abundant. Dill, as suggested by another reviewer, sounds like a good addition.

We loved this recipe, it left me with an 'I want more' feeling!. I gave it a 4 out of 5 rating instead of a 5 out of 5 only because I added fresh dill which 'made the dish' according to my husband! I made no other alterations. This recipe was the perfect way to celebrate the season"s first zucchini from the garden! We served it with grilled chicken and nothing more, Fantastic!
