The Associated Press' J.M. Hirsch came up with these 10 fresh ways to use zucchini: 1  Pasta: Grab yourself one of those veggie spiral cutting gizmos, which let you render produce into pasta-like ribbons.

Add tahini, garlic, salt, pepper and a splash of lemon juice, then process until very smooth. Use as a dip for vegetables and chips, or as a sandwich spread. Salsa: Dice and toss together 1 medium zucchini, 1 large tomatillo and 1/2 red or orange bell pepper.
