It’s zucchini season, and our CSA boxes are filled with an abundance of these tasty summer veggies and more! From zucchinis to garlic scapes, to greens, greens, and more greens – we couldn’t be happier with our awesome CSA boxes from our local organic farm. We paired our CSA garlic scapes and parsley with the grilled zucchini for a tasty meal. The grilled garlic scape hummus is a perfect complement to the fresh Tabbouleh. I would make the hummus for crackers and veggies too! It was super tasty! Please enjoy this recipe for our Grilled Zucchini with Grilled Garlic Scape Hummus & Tabbouleh, yum!
