Zucchini Fritters
What a lovely concept. Fritters are a one-size-fits-all food. Take a food you like, mix it with batter and fry it. Can’t get much easier than that!
I made this recipe for zucchini fritters a second time, substituting cauliflower for the zucchini. Tasty!
As far as dipping sauces go, Ranch dressing is always a winner in my book. In this recipe I’ve given you ideas for three different dipping sauce options. My favorite of the three is the chili-garlic mayo.
If you’ve got a favorite fritter, tell us about it on Facebook. We’d love to hear from you!
ENJOY!
