Sweet Onion, Tomato, & Cuke Salad

Don't have a picture of this yet because it was gone in a flash!
I found this recipe in the Taste of Home magazine. I tried it using the bounty from mom and dad's garden. I used 2 cucumbers, half an onion, and 9 little roma tomatoes. I forgot the vinegar and it was great without it. SO good!

Ingredients:

  • 3 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 large cucumbers, peeled, halved, seeded and sliced

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers and onion. In a small bowl, combine the oil, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over tomato mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese.

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, it's amazing! So amazing that I didn't change a thing.

Connie's Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes

  • 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini -about two small/med
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

  1. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, and butter or margarine. Stir in bread crumbs, minced onion, and seasoning. Mix well.
  2. Shape mixture into patties. Dredge in flour.
  3. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Fry patties in oil until golden brown on both sides.
You could also fry these in a deep fryer or next time I'm going to try and bake them for less fat content. Delicious!
