Delicious!! And so simple. I have a spiralizer, so the ribbons were easy. I tried the original recipe first, then tried cutting the cheese (& used pecorino romano) and olive oil in 1/2 to reduce the fat, and doubled the lemon - still delicious. It is important to serve immediately if you want the squash to stay crisp. My husband loved it, too & he's not a zucchini fan. This will be a staple summer dish for us. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Loved this! So easy to make, and a healthy side dish. Hubby said he wasn't into a raw vegetable side dish (we already had a salad on the table), but two bites into it said "Wow, this is really good!". Yep - I agree! Cut the squash on a mandoline, and it was ready in no time at all. Thanks for posting a keeper of a recipe! Made for SWT 2019 - The Traveling Tastebuds.

I miss those forums and am saddened that this is now just another recipe collection site. I will always come back here as I have so many recipes saved of my own and tried many gems.
