We have a vegetable garden and as most people, enjoy the multitude of zucchinis that the plant offers. In fact by the middle of the summer I am usually searching for new and interesting zucchini recipes. I came across this one a while ago and it only required a few changes to make it a vegan recipe. It is a simple salad to make and present in an elegant way. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
