I hate this salad, but I've served it twice when I had guests for dinner, and everybody loved it. So I guess it's good!!!

fantastic recipe when you have a garden full of fresh courgettes a starter or a main course at lunch time with a nice glass of vin blanc !!!!!!!

I am eating this as I write and it is very nice. I put the courgettes on top of salad leaves and added some quorn that I fried in a little olive oil and lemon - I also added a few tomatoes to make it into a lunch rather than a side dish. This is the first time I've eaten courgettes raw but I'll definitely be doing this salad again and trying some of the other raw courgette recipes.

Loved this recipe. Worked really well as a salad for a BBQ. Teasted and looked delicious and used up some more of my glut of courgettes! Courgette chocolate cake next!!

I took this to a BBQ and it looked and tasted so good that none of my mates believed that I'd made it!

I made this as an antipasta but I would definately make this again with some grilled chicken for a light meal. I made this to use up some courgettes that needed eating and was not disappointed.

Really good and very flavoursome! An interesting way of using up a glut of courgettes. I added some diced chicken to make it a more substantial meal.
