Zucchini, Green Bean and Chile Slaw - fresh zucchini, crisp tender green beans, and hot chile peppers are given even more pop with fresh mint and basil!

Zucchini, Green Bean, and Chile Slaw

Have you had your fill of zucchini yet?  Have you zoodled yourself crazy?  Well, don’t stop yet.  You have to make this slaw or salad or whatever you want to call it.  It’s amazing!  Fresh zucchini is julienned, though you could use your spiralizer, I  used my Julienne Peeler.   Green beans are quickly blanched or steamed and then also julienned – I used my knife, but has anyone tried this Krisk Bean Stringer and Slicer or this Norpro Bean Frencher?  I normally don’t like one hit wonders in the kitchen, but this slaw was so good and the only time consuming part was slicing the green beans – so I’m considering them.

Zucchini, Green Bean and Chile Slaw

In with the zucchini and the green beans, the original recipe called for option squash blossoms, which I didn’t have.  It also calls for two long green chiles.  I used one Thai chili and believe me that was enough.  Then as if that green goodness wasn’t enough flavor for you, you add mint and basil leaves.  You get the bite from the mint and the summer feel from the basil.  A honey lemon juice dressing pulls it all together.

Fresh zucchini, lightly steamed green beans, hot chile peppers, and fresh mint and basil all combine with a tasty lemon honey dressing in this Zucchini, Green Bean and Chile Slaw

You want to know how good this is?  I am hoping to get lots more zucchini in my CSA next week!  When was the last time you hoped for more zucchini?  I found this slaw in Donna Hay Magazine Feb/March 2014.

Have you tried my  Vietnamese Zoodle Salad?
