How to make the Best Kid Friendly Zucchini Spread
It’s the perfect time for some zucchini. I love this zucchini spread; it’s also a kid favorite in our house.
What is so great about this zucchini spread?
I love that it’s all in one pan, and I could blend it in my magic bullet to make it more like a spread or leave it chunky. My kids spread it on bread, but I got these gluten-free crackers that are working pretty well with this zucchini spread. You can also make it ahead of time for camping, parties or just when you are hungry. Don’t pass by zucchini when grocery shopping, because zucchini is an excellent source of potassium, manganese, and vitamin A. The onion benefits the digestive system as well as avoids infections. And don’t forget the carrots. Carrots boost eye health as well as promote healthy skin. Happy salad making!
WHAT CAN YOU SERVE WITH THIS ZUCCHINI SPREAD?
It’s like a spread, so spread it on bread, crackers or don’t spread it anywhere and use it as a side salad. For my kids, I blend it so it’s not chunky, and they love it on a slice of fresh bread as an after-school snack.
