Why we love Charred Zucchini Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe

If you haven’t tried charred as a way to enhance you’re grilling experience– give it a try! Simple take the edges of whatever you’re grilling beyond the well done point to give them a little char. It’s great trick to add some smokey flavor to your grilled foods!

We’re still hitting some pretty high temps in these days but the evenings are starting to cool off, which is lovely, actually! I was out hiking in the mountains last weekend and the leaves are beginning to turn up there… time seems to fly by so fast these days.
