Marinated Zucchini Salad Recipe

Ingredient

3 cups sliced zucchini

2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

2 tbsp thinly sliced green onion

1/2 cup white wine vinegar

1/3 cup olive oil or salad oil

1 tbsp sugar

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp dried basil, crushed

few dashes pepper

lettuce leaves

Shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)

 

Method

Cook sliced zucchini in a small amount of boiling salted water about 3 minutes or till crisp-tender. Drain. In a shallow dish combine cooked zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, and onion. To make dressing, in a screw-top jar combine vinegar, oil, sugar, garlic, salt, basil, and pepper. Cover and shake well. Pour dressing over zucchini mixture; toss lightly. Cover and chill several hours or over night, stirring occasionally. To serve, drain zucchini mixture, reserving dressing. Arrange zucchini mixture on lettuce-lined plates. Top with shredded cheese and pass additional dressing, if desired. Makes 4 to 6 serving.
