If you are looking for a quick and nutritious lunch sandwich you definitely need to try this. It's also a great recipe if you have a lot of left over zucchini. I don't know if you are like me, and buy way too much zucchini, then you need to find a way to use those up before they go bad right? Well, that is where I was a couple weeks ago. I had to buy a pack of 5 when I only needed 1 zucchini. I throughly enjoy zucchini so I wasn't too worried that I wouldn't use them up. Never fret when you have too much zucchini, there is always a delicious way to use them!
