Photo Credit: Shlangenhaut<\/a> Like the swiss army knife of veggies, zucchini can do pretty much anything! From cocktails to casseroles, muffins to fajitas and everything in between, zucchini can be a solid and shockingly healthy foundation to literally any dish. With more potassium than a banana and fewer calories than most things, these green fruits (YES! they are actually fruits) should be a staple in your summer eating. Oh, AND you can eat the flowers! <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Set the Table <\/a> If you ever find yourself with leftover zucchini juice (from squeezing it out of shredded zucchini, etc.), this is the perfect use of it. Or, just go shred up some zucchini because this cocktail gives your juice cleanse a run for it’s money. <\/p>\n Ingredients: <\/strong>2 oz zucchini juice; 1 1\/2oz vodka; 3\/4 oz lemon juice; flaky sea salt; club soda<\/p>\n Method: <\/strong>Combine the zucchini juice, vodka, and lemon juice in the bottom of a cocktail glass and stir. Fill the glass with ice and top with club soda. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve immediately.<\/p>\n Adapted from: Set the Table<\/a><\/p>\n Wondering how to make that inspiring post you saw on Foodstand?
