Zucchini Ribbon Salad
WOW! This is so refreshing. I found this recipe in an America’s Test Kitchen cookbook. I like the way they develop a recipe and always post Why This Works before each one. The trick here is to peel the zucchini and/or summer squash lengthwise and turn it each time so you peel the veg and stop when you get the the seeds. That’s where all the excess moisture is. Save this for a smoothie.
