Avocado toast is all the rage these days.  Well…how about zucchini toast instead!  This recipe showcases the summer squash, garlic, tomatoes, and basil that we got in our CSA shares this week.  It is a really easy recipe that can be made as a side or can be the main dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
