What a great way to use zucchini! The dressing is fantastic - it makes up for flavorless overgrown zucchini because it adds so much great flavor to the salad.

I made 1\/4 the quantity for my husband and me because I wasn't sure how well the salad would keep. We liked the combination of squash and radishes. It was a pretty salad as well as delicious. I used avocado oil instead of canola oil because it's healthier and still has a neutral taste. I may add chopped green bell pepper next time for color and nutrition.
