Rosie Makes Zucchini Slaw.

 Rosie shamelessly ripped off

I mean, adapted, this recipe

for Zucchini Slaw

from Lisa of Homesick Texan blogdom.

 My ingredients:

1 medium zucchini

some red onion

1 small carrot

some green pepper

1 garlic clove

1 jalapeno

handful of parsley

 I love this new julienner which Mr. Hawthorne

found on our travels in Red Lodge, Montana.

 I julienned the zucchini and the carrot

and chopped the onion and pepper.

 Add in minced garlic.

And minced jalapeno.

 And chopped parsley.

 For the dressing,

about 1/4 cup mayonnaise,

1 heaping teaspoon yellow mustard,

and a good sprinkling of hot paprika.

 Toss to coat.

  Taste test and season with salt and pepper.

 I served this crisp salad base with Mr. Hawthorne's meatloaf.

It was a welcome complement to the rich meat

and a nice diversion from cabbage.

Plus it's an excellent way to use up

the bounty of your garden.
