Variations to Try
One of the beauties of zucchini salad is that it’s endlessly customizable. Here are a few fun twists:
Mediterranean Style
Add crumbled feta cheese, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil instead of mayonnaise.
Asian-Inspired
Use soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar for the dressing, then top with sesame seeds.
Crunch Boost
Mix in chopped cucumber, celery, or even apples for extra crunch.
