Grilled Zucchini with Grilled Garlic Scape Hummus & Tabbouleh

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!
