Need a go-to side dish for entertaining, this is your recipe! This easy 20-minute side features zucchini, a mildly flavored green vegetable in the squash family. Although it is common, the addition of orange juice and mint bring a totally different flavor to this tender vegetable, leaving it bright and full of elevated flavors. Perfectly pair this with seared salmon fillets, roasted duck breast or some lamb chops for a wonderful night with friends. Add some quickly made couscous to absorb some of the juices from the orange and round out your meal.
