What to do with all the Zucchini!!

I am sure many gardeners can relate to this problem.  I have been giving away at least a few a week and still have plenty more. So here are a few ideas.

Grilled Summer Squash

Slice your squash about 1/4 inch thick and place in a flat dish.  Drizzle your squash with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.  I like to add a bit of Braggs and pepper, maybe even a pinch of garlic powder.  Let it stand for 10-15 minutes.  Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Chopped Summer Squash Salad

1 summer squash

1 kohlrabi (you could also use radish, diakon or jicama)

1 red onion

2 cloves of garlic

3 TBSP fresh Cilantro chopped

3 TBSP rice wine or apple cider vinegar

1 TBSP Braggs

Chop the squash and kohlrabi into small cubes.  Dice the onion and garlic and place into a bowl. Mix the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and chill for 30 minutes or so.  This goes great with burgers or as a side salad.

Other ideas:

  • Grate a bit of summer squash and add it to red sauce and serve over pasta or roasted potatoes.
  • Chop it up and put it in a stir fry.
  • Add it in the last 10 minutes of roasting potatoes.
  • Add it to your homemade salsa recipe.
  • Make Zucchini Bread
  • Make Zucchini Pancakes (refer to apple pancake recipe)
