It's Farmer's Market Week! I do a lot of fun events throughout the year but this is one of my favorites. I'm always on the lookout for new things to try or new varieties of old favorites. This time I picked up some striped zucchini.
It was so pretty I wanted to "show it off" and not hide it in a bread or muffins, so I decided on this recipe from Taste of Home for Zucchini Pico de Gallo Salsa by Amy G. It's a great way to practice your knife skills!
I am one of those unfortunate people that has the "soapy" cilantro gene, so I used parsley instead. The recipe states the jalapeno is optional, but I like a little heat. Next time I'd probably even up it to 2 jalapenos.
This made an amazing snack with some tortilla chips, but it was also really good along paired with grilled chicken in a wrap for a quick lunch.
