I am 100% for fresh produce–but things can get a little out of hand in the garden this time of year, know what I mean?
If you’re like me, your counter tops are covered with zucchini and if you don’t have your own garden, I bet you’re getting doorbell ditched with tons of the stuff from friendly neighbors, desperate to offload their bounty.
Not that I’m complaining.
With so many ways to use this versatile veggie, you can eat squash every day through September without getting sick of it.
This roundup features 11 healthy, delicious recipes, guaranteed to help you make the most of summer’s most popular veggie.
Zucchini and Fresh Corn Salad

Twirling your favorite pasta doesn’t can have a lighter touch with whole wheat pasta mingled with zucchini noodles and garlicky shrimp for a one pot main meal you’ll want all season long.
