Hey Angie, I love zucchini in a salad. I usually grate it, but this is much more beautiful. I'm going to make this today!

Brian Samuels Photography 20/5/10 16:10

Growing up, I always put capers on my bagels and lox. Unfortunately, my husband isn't a big fan of them, so I rarely get to use them in dishes.

With that being said, I think that I might have to make an exception for this beautiful salad. It looks so refreshing.

Very pretty salad! I love the simple, fresh and zesty flavours. Ive got a batch of frozen yeast dough and everything I need for this salad and I'm thinking....zucchini salad for lunch and maybe, zucchini ribbon salad on pizza dough for dinner LOL With lots and lots of cheese on top, of course!!

The salad is simple and as a lover of garlic and tomatoes - sounds perfect. The marinade would definitely make a nice difference to the texture!

All the ingredients in this seems like they would be delicious together. I'd even be willing to try raw zucchini for it. Though I'm a mite trepidacious. I've never eaten zucchini raw before. We'll give it a go and see.
