If another zucchini bread recipe is not an option for your growing pile of zucchini, my Spicy Lime and Ginger Salad is a great place to start. The colors of summer are beautiful!
This salad is as much child-friendly as it is fun for adults to make, if you have a spiralizer. If you don't own a spiralizer, use a mandoline or julienne your vegetables; it will be just as colorful!
The secret for this flavorful, healthy, crunchy salad is the dressing. The fresh ginger and lime is a bright way to dress the salad. Serve your Spicy Lime and Ginger Salad as your main dish or with a lean protein.
