Since I started the 52 salad challenge. I have tried a number of vegetables prepared in ways I’m not used to – primarily raw vegetables that I have always had cooked before. This list includes beets, kale, and Brussels sprouts. So far, not one has been a disappointment. This salad is another example of that. Recommended by my friend Misty from Life Where We Are – this salad features raw zucchini.
