I just made this recipe and I am a bit disappointed. I love the low fat idea of this but it just tasted and looked like blended zucchini. I had to add more lemon juice, a lot more tahini and even some salt to get this thing tasting right.
not sure I had the right proportions – I decided that 1 pound of summer squash was about 3 small ones. The dressing has quite a bite! I wouldn’t use 3 cloves of garlic if I make it again. I needed to add more lemon juice to tame it a bit. I’m rather tempted to add a little oil – eating my salad right now.
