Zucchini and Red Cabbage Salad

Approx. 45 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 2 servings.

This recipe makes a nice light summer salad. If you don't like the taste of just vinegar, toss the veggies with your favorite salad dressing. Don't make this too far in advance of serving though, otherwise the red cabbage will "bleed" and the zucchini will turn purple.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups zucchini (including skin)
  • 1 cup red cabbage
  • 1/2 tomato
  • 1 tbs red wine vinegar (or favorite dressing)
  • black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Julienne cut zucchini into strips.
  2. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds to soften. Let cool.
  3. Cut red cabbage into thin strips.
  4. Dice tomato.
  5. Toss zucchini, cabbage, and tomatoes with vinegar or your favorite dressing.
  6. Add black pepper to taste.
