During the summer you can find Zucchini in abundance, especially at local farmer`s markets. Where I live, we are now in the height of the summer season and it is easy to find an abundance of fresh vegetables. I thought that it would be a good idea to post a simple, delicious, and unique recipe using this versatile summer vegetable. This is a quick Marinated Zucchini recipe.

It is always a good idea to support your local farmers whenever you can. Homegrown is always the best. What is your favorite summer vegetable? Make sure to let me know in the comments below.

This is honestly my favorite way to eat zucchini, just combining 3 ingredients I created something so simple but utterly so delicious. Somehow by just using coconut oil and sea salt the humble zucchini somehow becomes something more than it is. I am sure when you try this recipe you will be pleasantly surprised as well.

I enjoy eating my marinated zucchini in sandwiches. In the first and second pictures, I place my marinated zucchini slices on half of a homemade spelt bun (yes, I bake my own bread using exclusively spelt flour) with cashew spread, avocado, fritters, and of course a healthy sprinkle of cayenne pepper to boost the circulation. In the third picture, I kept it simple with just the marinated zucchini and fried fritter in between a spelt bun.

Here is the recipe: Enjoy 🙂
