Zucchini Coleslaw









Another zucchini recipe, can you tell I love using this versatile   vegetable?

This is a nice change from cabbage Coleslaw. It's easy and once you make it I bet you will add it to your tried and true recipe collection.

Ingredients:

1 large zucchini , washed and roughly grated on a box grater (should yield about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large carrot, washed and roughly grated on a box grater (should yield about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt *
1 Tbsp canola oil mayonnaise (didn't add)
1 tsp white white vinegar ( added 1/2 teaspoon)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (didn't  add)

Direction:

 Squeeze the shredded zucchini  to remove excess water.

Combine the zucchini with the shredded carrot and remaining ingredients. Stir until well-mixed.

* I like a little sweetness to my coleslaw. Added pineapple Chobani Greek yogurt. Recipe calls for 1/4 cup- I added to taste and did not add any mayo.

  3. Delicious looking, Linda. My only access is the grocery store and they rarely look that nice. I suppose it could be that my area has a lot of gardeners.

  5. This really sounds good-I wonder if I could get it past Bob? He doesn't care for raw zucchini. I love your idea of pineapple Greek yogurt, Linda-that's genius! :)
