Made this last week and my wife and daughter inhaled it. The only problem I found with it, at least for me, was that the zucchini stripes had too much water on them. Maybe my colander wasn't large enough to drain the zucchini well? I tried to get rid of some of the moisture by sitting it on a paper towel for a bit. Helped, but for me, still to wet. It seemed to dilute the dressing a bit. Still enjoyed and I will make again and will try the Asian version per one of the reviews. This salad is open to many different flavor profiles.

Saw this today and have to make it. It was wonderful. I was afraid the zucchini was going to be salty but it was great. The only thing I left out was the cheese bc I didn't have it. Will definately make again. p.s. also used green leaft lettuce insstead of friscee.

Really amazing. The different textures and flavors mingling together.

I also tried to modify it for a more Asian feel as well. I substituted peanuts for the almonds and added Thai chili paste and rice wine vinegar to the dressing.
Both recipes were magnificent!

This is a really good salad. I cut down on the basil and, unfortunately, over roasted my almonds, but my husband liked it and I am adding this to my recipe box for future use.

My complaint is with the dressing. I watched the episode and failed to notice whether Alton put salt and/or sugar in it. When I tasted the dressing, the lemon was way too overpowering. I'm suspecting that, once again, when the recipe was put up online, there was an omission of some sort in the ingredients. Food Network online has a tendency to make omissions and errors in posting their recipes. I've been out of work for a long time....can you please hire me to edit your online recipes and check them twice for accuracy, before foisting them on an unsuspecting public?

Thank you Alton Brown for this delightful alternative to pasta salad! I must admit that I almost omitted the mustard seeds--I tend to dislike them--but the flavors surprised me by going so well together and not being at all sharp or bitter as I expected. Very easy to make.

I think that if you have trouble finding manchego cheese (I had to go to Whole Foods to get it, you could substitute parmesan or Romano.
