Apple zucchini salad tastes great, looks great, and is sweet and refreshing too.
I made this apple zucchini salad for a lunch I had with two of my dear friends recently. Since its apple season and zucchini can still be found in abundance at the markets I combined these two to make this delicious crunchy, sweet salad.
