I followed the recipe exactly and my salad didn't turn out well. The pattypan squash was too hard and the dressing was too oily.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

This salad is a great way to use up summer squash. I like to add a bit of crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The pattypan squash is perfectly cooked and has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, while the tomatoes are juicy and tangy. The dressing is a perfect complement, with a nice balance of acidity
