Tasty and Abundant Zucchini Recipes

When it’s abundant in gardens and farm markets, you can’t have too many zucchini recipes that are easy and healthy (and that happen to be vegan). Here you’ll find lots of “noodle” dishes, main dishes, side dishes, and salads to enjoy year round. Though it may not be high up on the superfood vegetable ranks, it still has a number of surprising health benefits. And as for versatility, it can’t be beat!
