Zucchini Slaw

Kitchen Ready Betty
This easy zucchini slaw is a fresh, one-bowl side dish that swaps traditional cabbage for a zesty, crunchy mix of shredded zucchini and colorful peppers. It’s the perfect low-carb alternative for summer cookouts, doubling as a vibrant salad or a tangy relish topper for your favorite burgers and hot dogs.

Notes

Zucchini Slaw is very open to your customization! You may add shredded carrots, shredded yellow squash or even a yellow or orange bell pepper for more color variety!
We enjoy this both with and without mayo, depending on the sandwich or BBQ meal. It's always best to add the mayo to individual bowls just before serving. Try it both ways and see which version you like better with your favorite cookout meals!
The longer this sits in the fridge, the more it pickles and turns into a relish, which is so good on top of hot dogs!
