Zucchini and Red Onion Salad

If you have ever grown zucchini in your garden you know that before long you are overrun with squash. One day you will find 2 or 3 little guys on there. The next day you'll find 7 more!! So if the zucchini are taking over your garden, never fear, turn them into this salad.

Serves 6-8

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper
2/3 of a small red onion, thinly sliced
6-8 small zucchini or 2 pounds

In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the onion and let stand for about 15 minutes. This will soften the bite from the onion. Meanwhile using a vegetable peeler or vegetable slicer, slice the zucchini paper thin. Add to the dressing, adjust the salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
