Zucchini Rice - A quick and easy side dish that’s not only fresh, healthy, and hearty but it goes well with anything and everything!

With zucchini season in full throttle, this side dish needs to be made stat.

It doesn’t even really need to be a side.

You can have this for dinner.

I already had two bowls of this.

And I’m just about to get my third.

Yes, it’s just that good. And you can add more veggies to your liking.

It can also work as breakfast – just throw in a fried egg on top and you’re set. See, it’s not only incredibly versatile but it’s also fitting for every single meal. Done.
