I do quite enjoy zucchini on it's own and have been meaning to get a little creative with it in the kitchen. Like you said there are only so many times a salad will suffice and eating the same thing the same way over and over again gets boring. I'll definitely have to add this to my must-try list 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe!
