Summer Zucchini Salad

It's finally salad season!

And if your garden is overflowing with sweet sweet summer veggie goodness, then you'll appreciate a creative way to get those beauties from the garden into your belly.

It's only natural for us to crave fresh and light meals when the temperatures rise.

Vegetables and fruits are made up of mostly water. As the heat turns up, our bodies are in desperate need of additional hydration.

Enter the hydrating, but not too filling, salad.

Summer Zucchini Salad

1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 dices zucchini

1 diced tomato

1/4 diced red onion

Generous handful fresh dill chopped

1/2 red bell pepper

1/2 cup vinaigrette dressing of your choice

pinch of salt

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cook the quinoa according to package directions.

Dice all the veggies to the desired size.

Toss everything with the vinaigrette of your choice (We used Brianna's Home Style Real French Vinaigrette) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

How convenient that most of these ingredients are in season at the same time!

Thank you Summer!
