    Truly light and fresh, great summer salad. I will definitely make it for my Memorial Day BBQ. Had it with fajitas and it was perfect.

    great flavors! the dressing is light but flavorful and adding a nice sweet corn adds to the flavor as well. the zucchini I had was not the freshest so I can't wait to try it again with a better one.

    What brand of good olive oil would you recommend for salads and eating raw?

    Fresh, light and delicious. I, however, used fresh corn cut off the cob and steamed it in a small amount of water in the microwave, covered, for 30 seconds, so that it had a bit of crunch to it. I doubled the amount of corn asked for, too. Love this recipe!

    I'm not a big salad person, but this was pretty good. I especially love this dressing, so light and refreshing but with a light tang from the lemon. It actually brought the flavors of the other ingredients to the foreground.

    Easy, and a little different. I loved the parmesan chunks in the salad.

    The salad is so easy to make and the flavor combinations are unique. I made it and brought to an extended family dinner celebration. Everyone thought it was great. I added some fresh basil leaves to the mix -- I thought it gave it a little extra zip. There are endless possibilites to add other veggies to the salad. It's looks really pretty sitting on the table. Another great recipe from Giada! Thanks!

    AMAZING! I've made this several times & it never disappoints! Very fresh & all the ingredients work well together. Tip: I leave the garbanzo beans separate from the salad if Im going to eat it for a few weeks. The beans can get gummy after a few days if left in salad.

    This is always a hit a picnics and even nice dinners. I usually prepare everything the night ahead but I don't put the corn, dressing, or lettuce in until the day off so that the lettuce won't wilt.

    I also leave out the parmesean as most of my friends don't eat dairy but feta is another nice alternative.
