Courgette salad

I like courgette so I was surprised that I didn't like this, when it was highly-rated by others. I definitely recommend you salt and squeeze the courgettes to get water out of them before making the salad, but I won't be trying it a second time, I thought it was textureless and weird. One for people who have a glut of courgettes and are getting desperate.

C'mon, make it simple............ Grate your courgettes - sprinkle with salt, if necessary. Leave in a colander and then squeeze out the excess water. then use. Jeeze, use your commonsense!

There was a little too much liquid but it was still lovely.

I don't have these supermarkets close by. I would love the choice. There are some local independent suppliers with quality products, at a price, and I use them occasionally.The Co-op has a bit of a monopoly, I guess that I am not allowed to say that? I love cooking and your recipes but get continually sent off in different directions, 0 found, or onto the never ending "Register for our recipes" all of them great, I am sure. Will you sign me up to do a market research project on this? I have the time and the interest, 43 countries, worked, lived, visited, !84 major cities at last count, and stopped when I decided that, I was reasonably, widely travelled, educated, experienced and love life. get on with it. contact me cedricsalter@outlook.com thank you. to all of you and have a great day.

I nicked the idea from a friend after having it at theirs and it went down a treat with my friends too. Added an extra large garlic clove for a bit more punch, but that's personal taste! Wasn't really around long enough to get watery, it was the last thing I made before serving.

Lovely fresh salad. I used lemon and served it with a Greek roast leg of lamb. Delicious combination.

Used sesame seeds instead of poppy seeds and it worked well. Love this dish after trying it at a friend's house, but it's a shame that it goes so watery. Will definitely try a reader's tip from below about getting rid of the excess water.

Very simple and yet yummy. A bit too sweet though. Will put mire lemon and less honey the next time. Didn't put poppy seed though. Good dish to use up the zucchinis. Will definitely make again

Enjoyed it very much, but only used 1 tbsp of olive oil which is plenty.

I've made this a few times as it's a simple, tasty side dish for barbequed meat or chicken. Yes, you are left with a water in the bottom of the bowl, but we pile it onto our plates straight away and there's never any leftover! A delicious way to use up courgettes.
