I'm blessed that most churches in my denomination have a vegetarian potluck dinner each week. I love to try new vegetarian/vegan/raw food recipes and share them with my church family. Since my fridge is overrun with veggies from the garden and the store, I worked to include as many as them as I thought would taste good!
CHOPPED VEGGIE CAESAR SLAW
2 green onions
2 ears of sweet corn
1 cup fresh green beans
1 carrot
1 medium zucchini

Salad Directions:
1. Run carrots and zucchini through a food processor with a shredder attachment or use a box grater. Place in a large bowl.
2. Run green beans, celery, garlic, broccoli, and green onions through a food processor on a medium high speed. Stop when chopped. Don't puree the veggies! Veggies may also be chopped with a sharp knife. Add to shredded vegetables.
3. Slice corn kernels off of cobs with a sharp knife. Add to vegetables.
4. Cover with Caesar dressing (below) and mix thoroughly.
