For a richer flavor, try using freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
If you prefer a crispier coating, dredge the squash in flour first, then dip in the salad dressing mixture, and dredge in flour again.
Feel free to experiment with different types of onions, such as red onions or shallots, for a slightly different flavor profile.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the flour mixture for a touch of heat.

    Next time I'll try adding some garlic powder to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
