From our kitchen to yours..

Creamy Mustard Zucchini Slaw

2 medium-size zucchini

2 carrots grated

pinch of salt

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon brine( liquid) from dill pickles

1/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds

freshly ground black pepper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1~In a colander,combine the zucchini and carrots with 1teaspoon salt.Mix well. Set aside to drain for about 30 minutes.

2~Squeeeze out as much moisture as possible from the vegetables.Transfer to a medium sized mixing bowl.

3~Combine the mayonnaise,brine, and mustard in a small bowl.Blend well.

4~ Add the mayonnaise mixture to the vegetables.Mix in the sunflower seeds. Taste and add plenty of pepper. It probably won't need additional salt.

5~Let stand for about 30 minutes before serving or refrigerate for up to 4 hours and mix well before serving.

Serves 4

The sunflower seeds add the crunch the grated zucchini lacks. This slaw is particularly good on sandwiches..
