Our staff loved this wonderful variation of traditional coleslaw. Later in the year, when zucchini is not as plentiful, try this recipe with 2 cups shredded cabbage. The addition of cubes of ham, chicken, or cheese will make this a good lunch or supper main dish. (Country Living)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
  • 2 cups coarsely shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated horseradish

Directions

1. In a large bowl,, combine zucchini, carrot, green onion, green pepper, and salt. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Remove vegetable mixture from refrigerator. Drain very well. In a small bowl, beat together pepper, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard, and horseradish until well combined.

3. Pour dressing over vegetables; toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until serving--at least 2 to 3 hours for best flavor.
