2. Eat It Raw

Have you ever eaten zucchini raw? If not, now is the time to try. We’re not saying you have to pluck it from the plant and take a big bite (although you could if you really wanted). But you can easily chop, spiralize, shred or dice it up to use in any number of salad recipes. You don’t even need to follow any particular instructions. Consider dicing your zucchini into small, bite-sized pieces and using them in place of cucumber next time you whip up a simple summer salad for lunch.
