The Greenest, Briniest Salad

Dice 3 baby cucumbers, 2 stalks celery, and 1 small raw zucchini. Combine with 1/2 cup sliced olives, 2 Tbsp capers (optional), and 1/2–1 cup diced baby pickles. To make it a whole meal, add 3/4 cup cooked chickpeas and 1/2 cup cooked quinoa. Season with 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, juice of 1 lemon, salt, and a drizzle of oil.

Saucy Zucchini

Sauté diced onion and zucchini. Add marinara sauce and shredded cheese, and mix until melted.

Cheesy Zucchini Fritters
