Zucchini “Pasta” Salad with Creamy Cilantro Lemon Dressing

Tis the season for summer cookouts and pot lucks. As the warmer weather approaches, my number of outside cookout obligations increases exponentially. Of course that means being able to produce multiple tasty “summery” dishes for each occasion. But let’s be honest, you can only eat so many potato salads, raw veggies, and fruit…aka, staple cookout foods. Often times, however, it’s tricky to magically produce a new recipe every weekend! I like to spice it up a bit and bring something a little out of the ordinary, something that tends to catch people off guard but that leaves them surprisingly satisfied.

This recipe is great for that very reason. It’s a wonderful way to get lots of veggies and get your “pasta salad” fix without loading up on store-bought junk. Opt for something fresh that will leave you feeling well when you leave your summer gathering, not wishing for a detox program.
The dressing is loaded with flavor and super simple to whip up. Enjoy, Foodies
