Quick Spiralized Zucchini and Grape Tomatoes
During one of the episodes of MasterChef Junior, I came across the saying, "what grows together, goes together," and it truly resonates. Zucchini, tomatoes, and basil complement each other perfectly. You can enjoy this delightful combination as a side dish, as recommended, or elevate it to a main course by adding some grilled shrimp or chicken on top.
