    Loved this! Nice light salad and good for lunchboxes... probably tastes better the next day because the dressing has a chance to soak in. Have already shared this recipe with friends because it was so nice.

    Have loads of courgettes in the garden at the moment so looking for different ways to use them up. Really loved this salad, it was really moreish and if I'd made more I would have gone back for seconds. Wouldn't make any changes.

    This was not only totally scrumptious, easy to make, but it looked excellent on the plate with all those colors. I am going to share this recipe with all of my friends, and I just know, they will like it as much as I did! Thank you!

    I made this for lunchboxes and it was really good, I cut the courgette in half so that the ribbons were not too long as not such a good look at work to bde wrestling with long pieces of courgette . Next time I will add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice as I just felt it could do with a bit of zing!

    Enjoyed this, easy to make and really light and healthy. I'd never tried quinoa before but really liked the taste and texture, and it had never occured to me to eat courgettes raw! I added pine nuts and pumpkin seeds for extra texture. Found it too filling to eat in one go but I picked at it throughout the afternoon so it wasn't wasted! A great lunch box meal.

    I quite liked this. The texture is nice with the quinoa. Next time I will try coriander instead of parsley.

    Great recipe, very simple and healthy too. I love this because its packed with protein so great as a snack after the gym, and if I make it the night before, the dressing really brings out the flavours

    I made this using spelt instead of quinoa, switched red wine vinegar for lemon juice and left out the parsley. Gorgeous for a lunch, and would make a wonderful bbq salad/posh lamb kebab accompaniment. Everyone loved it.
