Zucchini Squash Salad

Zucchini Squash Salad

This is one of my favorite salads because the veggies are fresh, raw and oh so tender! For a COMPLETE MEAL IDEA, My family enjoys it with grilled fish, chicken or steak. A great side with this is a baked potato with a dollop of sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice and fresh chives!). This salad is also a fantastic compliment to any burger!
