It seems like Easter isn't creeping up on us, but is charging at us full steam ahead. Thankfully, I don't have to host dinner this year, but I'll still need to provide a dish for the buffet table at my in-laws. Cole slaw is usually served, but I wanted to try something a little different this year, so yesterday I did a test run on this Pickled Carrots and Zucchini recipe that I found on Golden Blossom Honey. With how fast Easter is approaching, summer will be here before we know it. I've been hitting the gym hard and don't want all of those evil burpees and squats to amount to nothing. That's why I am really in love with this recipe. It tastes very similar to cole slaw without the fatty dressing that's on the traditional version.
Pickled Carrots & Zucchini make an awesome side dish for your Easter meal. The tender carrots and zucchini topped with a zesty dressing is a mouth watering combination. If Peter Cottontail shows up, you may have to chase him off because he'll want the entire dish for himself!

ReplyDeleteI've never tried zucchini raw. It does look great on the photo as well and clever of you to avoid cooking anything since it is served raw :) I'd ad celery in it, but I know certain someone here hates it :)
The carrots are boiled for a few minutes, so it's not completely raw. Which is good because I don't digest raw carrots too well. Raw zucchini is one of my favorite snacks. I love to chop in into little chip rounds and munch away! Mariah would definitely not go for the celery. I will never understand her aversion to celery!
DeleteThose look so good! I love this for a side for the flavor and also for the sheer cuteness of it!
ReplyDeleteCarrots, the crunchy kind, I sure can chow down on. Never tried zucchini though
ReplyDeleteI still have yet to decide. It looks like you're ready to go! I would like to make matcha sugar cookies. It's just something I want to try.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves picked anyhing. She would really enjoy this.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what a Burpee was... or I thought I didn't. Then I looked it up. My oldest son does those. The recipe looks really good. Right up my alley. :)
ReplyDeleteYour son is really fit, so I am sure he doesn't mind burpees. I, however, am not fit, so they are hell on earth for me lol
DeleteHe does them straight, and he does them with a crazy wheel thingie that would kill me. He is crazy fit, but he always has a little tiny pooch on his belly that drives him nuts!!! His brother gets a six pk w/o trying much at all, and he is NOT one to work out, so it's kind of a funny thing between them. ;)
DeleteI am not sure if my gym has those crazy wheel things, but if they do, I'll stay far, far way from them!
DeleteIt'll be a rare Easter off for me
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting! Hope you enjoy your day off!
DeleteSo adorable! I love the theme to this recipe - Petter Cottontail! How festive and fitting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to positively influence your children's diets.
ReplyDeleteI think they would enjoy this platter and get into the idea.
honey on cooked veggies is the best! I learned how to do that with baby carrots from a friend who helped me before my future mother in law came over for dinner!
ReplyDeleteI have been really into zucchini lately so this recipe looks yum! I love reading all of your Golden Honey recipes each week!
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves his pickled veggies. He could eat it as a meal by itself. This sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteI like carrots and zucchini raw. I have never tried them pickled. This has my interest piqued. I need to try them.
ReplyDeleteI love pickled veggies. Great sides to have for any main dish for lunch or dinner!
ReplyDeleteThose look so good! Pickled veggies are the perfect side especially during Spring or Summer. It's always fun to have them around at barbecues and picnics.
ReplyDeleteI'm so conflicted. It looks so pretty but I hated pickled veggies... haha
ReplyDeleteI should try it at home! I love fresh and pickled veggie :)
ReplyDeleteYes, summer will be here before we know it, and abandoned us before we know it, too.
