Summary

When I followed the original recipe for this salad strictly, the result was interesting but very, very bland. I’ve made some modifications here, but feel free to add more zing any way that you would like. The recipe is still worthy of a place in the archives because it’s a great no-cook dish for summer and a great way to use up plentiful squash.

Instructions

  1. Whisk oil, lemon juice, vinegar, coarse salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper in small bowl to blend. Set dressing aside.
