Reviews
Great recipe, will make again. I didn’t have yellow squash so I used sweet potato & carrot instead. This recipe is very forgiving with substitutes.
Outstanding with just a couple tweaks for me. A lot less oil and I doubled the vinegar, mustard and dill.
Eating leftovers right now. YUMMY! Definite make again.
I don’t see any reviews……just useless stars!
