Raw Squash and Asparagus Salad

My kids hate mushy squash, spit it out, will not eat it, nice try mom…but they will eat this fresh zucchini salad all day long!

As parents we anticipate what our kids are going to love/hate and sometimes the simplest recipes end up being their favorite. So here is a little inspiration to mix it up and hopefully sneak in some extra vegetables onto their plate!
