Zucchini-Lime Vinaigrette
This vinaigrette is so darn delicious that I wouldn’t judge anyone for drinking it through a straw. And what better way to use up excess zucchini than to blend it up into a tasty dressing that you can drizzle on just about anything from leafy green salads to grain bowls and even used as a marinade or dip for meat and fish. This is my new go-to dressing for the remainder of the summer and I hope you all find it as tasty and versatile as we do. I first posted the recipe a few days ago with my melon and corn salad but I figured this dressing needs it’ own post so that it’s easier to search for down the line on the blog/google search.
