Yum! I didn't shred the zucchini, just sliced them super thin. It was super quick and easy. Loved it!

Besides being super easy & healthy, this recipe was super tasty! Made just as directed & the flavor was fabulous. The lemon zest really popped. The crunch of the almonds was a nice compliment to the shredded zucchini. DH wasn't crazy about it but DS & I ate it & enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing, Huskergirl! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet tag game.
