This is a very easy and a great dish to make right now when all the zucchini is in season. I went to the farmer’s market this past weekend and the squash available in all different styles has been excellent. So sweet and fresh. I made this salad the other night. 

Serves 4 

2 medium sized zucchini squash

½ cup sliced almonds, toasted

1 orange, juiced

1 Tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper to taste 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almonds on a cookie sheet and bake about 10 minutes until lightly toasted. 

Meanwhile, using a hand grater, grate the zucchini. Mix the orange juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix into the zucchini. Toss with the toasted almonds.
