Zucchini Salad

The fresh zucchini from the Tera Farm store made me want to try using it in a different way. I thought of making a quick zucchini salad. I was so happy with the end result! 

Ingredients 

- 2 zucchini’s - finely sliced 

- Handful of sunflower seeds

- 2-3 leaves of lettuce - chopped up

- ½ a peach - sliced 

Lemon dressing

- ¼ to ⅓ cup olive oil

- Juice of ½ a lemon

- 1 garlic pod

- 1 teaspoon mustard

- ½ teaspoon honey

- salt and pepper to taste 

I sliced the zucchini out finely, added some of the lettuce from the farm and some sunflower seeds (pine nuts would have been awesome but I didn’t have any) and lastly added sliced peaches as the color just looks amazing against all the green. 

I then made a lemon dressing and drizzled it on top of the salad before tossing it. It turned out so so good!

 I have not tried salads with the assorted summer squashes available yet, but think it would be fun to try. There are some great ideas to experiment with - check out this one that combines zucchini and squash https://www.marthastewart.com/1516236/zucchini-and-squash-salad

I think I'm going to try it very soon.
