Zucchini Slaw
By: Gigi Howe
Shhh… I’ve made this recipe and no one knows its zucchini. They think its the traditional slaw with cabbage. 😉 Sometimes vegetables are not real popular at my house. I love them, but I can only speak for myself! 😉
Summers are wonderful with all the delicious fruits and vegetables available. I don’t know if you have a vegetable garden but zucchini seems to be a staple for many backyard gardens. Anyway, I’ve made this recipe for years. I just serve it, don’t always say what it is. Everyone likes it. It makes up quickly with a food processor and is a nice colorful summer salad. You have to make sure you let the shredded zucchini drain for a while, otherwise the slaw will turn out watery.. but it still tastes good.
