Notes
- How to choose the best zucchini
- I tend to go for smaller zucchini (less than 8 inches long), as they have better flavor. Larger zucchini are more bitter the bigger they get.
- Choose firm zucchini, with a dark green color, with no cuts, bumps or blemishes.
- Store unwashed in the fridge, then rinse well before cutting and grilling.
- Substitutions/Additions
- You can use Italian dressing instead of the olive oil/lime juice combination. Balsamic vinegar can replace the lime juice too, if you prefer!
- Switch the lime juice and zest for fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Adding garlic powder, onion powder will give you a deeper flavor.
- Italian seasoning with lemon and olive oil is fantastic.
- Summer squash works very well for this, do a mixture of zucchini and yellow squash for a pretty color change!
