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 salmon or shrimp and it's the perfect quick and easy meal that's HEALTHY!
And if you don't have a spiralizer - GET ONE IMMEDIATELY! They'll change your life.
