Parmesan Zucchini Noodles

I've been on the Zucchini Noodle train for the past 2ish years and I have no intention of getting off anytime soon! Dinner is ready in just about 10 minutes with these Parmesan Zucchini Noodles with Mint and Lemon Vinaigrette! If you love zucchini as much as I do, my Grilled Corn and Zucchini Salad is another summer staple. For more quick noodle dinners, try my Sesame Ginger Noodles and serve either one with Perfect Juicy Grilled Chicken Thighs for a complete meal.

Squash season is here! Zucchini and yellow squash are everywhere you look at the market and they need to be put to good use. Naturally I turned it into zucchini noodles, tossed it with some fresh mint, red pepper flakes and a lemon vinaigrette and called it a day! Serve it alongside some grilled Crispy Salmon Succotash or shrimp and it's the perfect quick and easy meal that's HEALTHY!
