Pistachio and Mint Zucchini Salad

This August, I want to make the most of my garden’s bountiful harvest: I’ve put in so much work into my garden that it only makes sense to reap the benefits. A hobby that produces fresh ingredients and delicious food? You can understand the many reasons I love to garden!

Zucchinis are in season, and they are some of my favorite veggies. A couple years back, I shared this super easy zucchini salad with you guys. Hard to believe it’s been 6 years since I posted that. I still remember when I first fell in love with raw zucchini salad- the cool, crisp texture was exactly what I needed in the heat of the summer day.

Here, I revisited this Lovewell classic and revamped the dish. Adding chopped pistachios gives the zucchini an extra salty crunch, and the mint gives the salad a floral lift. A simple lemon-olive oil dressing holds it all together. With some flaky salt, this salad is arguably the best “bang-for-your-buck” summer dish in flavor and simplicity. Check it out below!
