Zucchini Fritters with Fresh Tomato Salsa and Tatziki Sauce

Directions

Instructions for Fritters:
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, carrots, onions, eggs, Manischewitz® Matzo Meal (or Manischewitz® potato starch) and salt, and mix to combine.
Heat ¼ inch of oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the hot oil (careful not to overcrowd the pan), and lightly press down to flatten.
Fry for 3 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining batter.

Instructions for Salsa:
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, parsley, olive oil and lemon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over top or alongside fritters.

Instructions for Tatziki:
In a small bowl, combine yogurt, dill, cucumber, lemon juice and salt and stir. Serve over top or alongside fritters.

My Grandma “Ma” always made chremslach, a.k.a potato pancakes. Latkes are great Passover fare. I was inspired by her Old Country recipe but wanted a New Country twist so I adapted these fritters to feature lower carb veggies topped with fresh tomato salsa (also great on fish or chicken) and cool creamy tatziki sauce
