ZUCCHINI SLAW

Steps:

• Mix dressing ingredients together.
• Mix slaw ingredients together.
• Pour over slaw tossing to coat.
• Chill for 1 hour.

MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Slice the squash as thinly as you can. Sprinkle with salt, preferably kosher salt, and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse and drain on paper towels.
• Mix together the lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for four to six hours.
• Remove from the refrigerator, and remove the garlic clove. Add the fresh herbs, and toss together. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI, ONIONS, AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise and then cut them into quarters.
• Trim, core, and stem the red bell peppers. Cut them into four equal parts from top down.
• Peel the onion and lay it on its side. Cut it inot 1/4 to 1/2 inch circles, being careful to keep the concentric layers in place.
• Place the zucchini, onions, and bell peppers in a shallow baking sheet. Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and drizzle over the vegetables. Sprinkle the chopped garlic, basil, and oregano over the top. Add the Cavendar's Greek Seasoning to taste.
• Place the vegetables on a hot grill with tongs. (If you'd like you can use a grilling basket to keep from losing any of the vegetables through the grill!).
• Cook on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes (or until they are marked) over a medium hot grill. Brush the vegetables with any remaining oil/vinegar mix when you turn them.
• Serve hot or cold!

• Wash, dry and chop chives.
