Summer Squash Patties with Lemon Garlic Aioli
I picked our first two zucchini yesterday and once they start coming on there is no stopping them! These patties truly are delicious and I'll be making them with yellow squash too. I used just a pinch of cayenne but if heat is your thing, go ahead and add a double pinch!
