I have never tried salads with zucchini, the low caloric veggie which is quite versatile and u can make any sort of dishes with this green veggie, i wanted to make out some salads with zucchini and finally prepared quite an easy salad which we loved having coz this salad goes for simple veggies and it tastes fabulous when served chilled...This time i picked pale green zucchinis which are very much crunchy and dont have that much bitterness presents naturally when compared with dark green zucchinis..Simple, refreshing and a prefect summer salad to enjoy without any guilt and tastes delicious when served along with some grilled meats or seafoods also this salad goes perfectly awesome even if u carry them for picnic...



1cup Zucchini (peeled & grated)
3nos Tomatoes (cut as circles)
4nos Shallots or 1/4cup red onions (chopped)
10nos Mint leaves (finely chopped)
Salt
Pepper powder
Olive oil

Add few pinches of salt to the grated zucchini and let them sit for few minutes in a bowl, drain the excess of water, squeeze out gently the zucchini and take them in a bowl along with tomato pieces, chopped onions, chopped mint leaves, give a stir and arrange in fridge atleast for an hour...meanwhile mix the pepper powder, salt and olive oil together..Add this simple dressing to the salad just before serving and enjoy the salad..Take care not to add the dressing earlier else the salad will turn watery coz of the zucchini..
