Apple, Spinach and Zucchini Salad!!! A wonderful, light and easy to whip up summer salad! Use up your garden zucchini and give this salad a try!

I’ve been seeing little signs.

Warmer temperatures, less snow fall, actual birds in our backyard sitting on the kids’ play structure, which isn’t completely covered in snow anymore. And I can start to see parts of our grass again. The snow is melting.

Signs of Spring!! I cannot wait for the Apple, Spinach and Zucchini Salad!!! A wonderful, light and easy to whip up summer salad! Use up your garden zucchini and give this salad a try!

This salad is the bomb. So good and easy to throw together. And yes, I’m eating zucchini raw in this salad. Again. It’s delicious and healthy and good for you. “Consuming raw or grilled zucchini — a long, cylindrical variety of summer squash with green or yellow skin — counts toward the nine 1/2-cup servings of fruits and vegetables you should consume each day, according to the Apple Spinach Zucchini Salad_large | HipFoodieMom.com

The fun and appeal of this salad for me, aside from the great taste, is the way I cut all of the ingredients. Because it’s all julienned and mixed together, I feel like you get more flavor and *punch* with each bite. You’ll want to use a mandoline julienne slicer or your julienne slicer or peeler.

I used my favorite Red Wine and Olive Oil Vinaigrette from Trader Joe’s when photographing this salad and eating it for the first time. Since then, I’ve made a few different kinds of dressings . . make your own or use your favorite dressing in a bottle. .  just make this salad! and let’s ring in Spring together!

I hope you enjoy!
