Tips:

Select the freshest zucchini possible. Look for zucchini that is firm, deep green in color, and has no blemishes.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the zucchini. This will help the zucchini absorb the dressing and soften slightly.
Add some sweetness to the coleslaw with shredded carrots, apple, or pineapple.
For a creamy coleslaw, add a cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the dressing.
Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.

Zucchini coleslaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and flavorful dish to serve at your next barbecue or potluck, give zucchini coleslaw a try. Your guests will love it!
