This is a very good crunchy, refreshing salad. Lots of flavor and color. I didn't use the yellow squash. I only used one zucchini which was plenty. The red pepper I sliced into thin rings as the directions didn't state what to do with them. The snow peas would be better if they were julienned. I also added salt and pepper.

Bring your appetite as this makes a lot! Thank goodness I used the big bowl. DH loved this and had a couple of helpings. It was easy to prepare using the mandoline. There are no directions as to how to prepare or when to add the red pepper (I assumed it was not something to be poured over the vegetables). I sliced it the same thickness and added it before the dressing.

This was a nice mellow side dish. I really appreciated two things about it: it used up some of the glut of pea pods from our garden, and I liked just the "hint" of mayo in the dressing; not enough to be overpowering, but just enough to not be only a vinaigrette. I could have used a little more garlic or peppers but overall it's a really good raw vegetable salad!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
