This zucchini dish incorporates numerous different plant based ingredients that can feed your microbiome, all while tasting delicious!
Preserved lemons are created through fermentation, which produces beneficial bacteria that can enhance gut health and boost the immune system. They are also a rich source of flavonoids, which may promote beneficial bacteria in the gut and inhibit potentially harmful bacteria.
Paired with the sweetness of dates, earthy fresh herbs and the salty crunch of almonds, this dish is a perfect side for Thanksgiving, or any time of year.
