Crunchy Zucchini Wrap

Crunchy Zucchini Wrap

Even though zucchini (also known as summer squash) are last in the alphabet, they still contain great nutrients like potassium and are easy to add to any meal! They can be fried like in this week’s recipe, baked into zucchini bread, or added to any pasta dish to balance out the plate. When picking up your produce this week, don’t forget to take a second look at the zucchini!
