Delicious! Very fresh tasting! We used a can of rotel instead of the tomato as that is what we had on hand. Will definitely make again. Thanks :) - 5/5/11

Very good! The dressing on it is great too lot of flavor except only used tsp of cumin. Added chicken on top. Will def make again. Also added onion. YUM - 10/21/09

This recipe "inspired" what I made - I based my dinner off of it. I omitted the beans, substituted salsa for the tomatoes, topped it with shredded cheese, and seasoned it with red pepper for some kick. It was good and very filling. - 1/30/08

This is great! I cooked the squash about 3 minutes too long. It wasn't quite as spaghetti-ish, but it still makes a great salad. I also didn't have green pepper or cilantro, but I diced some zucchini and added it. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing! - 8/16/14
