Melon & Zucchini Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

As you know the Vie Spring Soiree was over one week ago by now.  We held it to raise awareness for what we’re doing at Vie, bring the community together, and fund raise for a good cause (UACC).  The event was a success!

Now that the dust has settled, we’ve had a bunch of folks come forward and ask about this one particular fruit salad that was on display at the kids’ table.  The dish, created by Vie Meal Planner Chef Hannah Matarazzo, is fantastic because it relies on the sweetness of melon to lure little mouths (and hands) in.  The shredded zucchini is the secret ingredient!  Practically flavorless against the juicy-sweet tang of the melon and the punch of the lemon-y dressing, the zucchini camouflages itself very well, making this salad your new best friend in the “my kid doesn’t eat vegetables” department!

Here’s the recipe, and thanks Hannah for preparing this and so much more.  To see some of her other creations in photographs, take a look at our post on the Vie blog.
