All the things i love about zucchini...

I have always kind of liked Zucchini but never really appreciated it as much as i have recently learnt to. have you ever tried it raw thrown into any salad? preferably with toasted almond slices- its amazing! there is alot more yummy things you can try with this versatile vegetable. heres a few recipes i have fallen in love with:
Zucchini fritters
2 zucchinis grated
1 egg
2/3 C shredded chedder cheese
2/3 C round butter crackers crumbled (thats Ritz crackers in the states and Snax crackers in NZ both in the red box)
-combine mixture into a bowl. If mixture seems wet add more crackers. Shape mixture into thin patties and Fry in non- stick pan for about three mintues on each side. Makes four servings
and i really have to stress how easy and tasty these are!!!!
