KF- What is your favored zucchini recipe?

TH- Oh, a person that I love was a sliced zucchini salad. At initially, individuals are like, oh, I don’t know, but this a person is great. Slice your zucchinis, place a tiny bit of prepared pesto in it, a minor bit of lemon juice, maybe a tiny lemon zest, some mustard, garlic. 

The new additions to this that people today will not ordinarily feel about is to include a tiny little bit of sliced mini cucumbers and some refreshing backyard peas or even some contemporary frozen peas. And then and finally, stir in some parmesan cheese and some green onions and best it with some crisp bacon strips or crumbled bacon. It is so yummy.
