    So delicious. Served with a crispy chicken thigh and it was perfect

    Used a spiralizer for the zucchini

    An outstanding recipe, somewhat reminiscent of — and surely inspired by — Thai green papaya salad. The salting step and dressing completely neutralize the metallic flavor I generally dislike in raw and lightly cooked zucchini

    I seem to be the one outlier here who didn't particularly care for this. Maybe because I'm not a huge (raw) cherry tomato fan; maybe it was just too fish sauce-forward for me. Either way I don't see making it again.

    This salad is positively dreamy. I could eat it all summer long.

    Excellent! Perfect side dish for satay and jasmine rice. I did my zucchini in thin round slices and this was Perfect!

    Dreamy summer salad.

    The flavors in this salad were excellent and the texture of the squash was lovely. I'm not crazy about zucchini and this treatment was more tasty than others I have tried. The dish did get a bit soupy so I might try to drain the squash more next time after salting it.

    I really enjoyed this. Thought it was just a perfect dish for a summer evening, with a really interesting mix of unique flavors. My wife found it too salty, but I thought it was great! The only change I made was using toasted pine nuts instead of peanuts.

    I thought this was fantastic. A really excellent summery dish and pretty easy to make. We fried up some tofu until it was super crispy and tossed it in with everything else, which turned out really well.
