This weekend I made this light and delicious Zucchini Salad. It had less than five ingredients. I also made a tangy Italian Vinaigrette dressing. I shaved the zucchini using a mandoline slicer, which was really easy to use. This is a delicious, artisan salad that your family will really enjoy.
I love to buy my fresh veggies from Whole Foods Market, Wegmans and Sprouts Farmers Market. The link for the mandoline slicer can be found here on my Shop Page.
