Ingredients
Remoulade
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ - 1 teaspoon hot sauce depending on taste & variety
- 1 teaspoons capers or chopped pickles
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Fritters
- 1 lb zucchini grated, about 4 cups
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup bell pepper red or green, finely chopped
- ½ cup corn

Instructions
- Grate the zucchini, toss with salt, then place in a strainer to drain Ideally for a half hour or more.
- While the zucchini is draining, make the remoulade. In a small bowl, mix the remoulade ingredients, then store in the refrigerator until fritters are ready
- To prepare the fritters, pour off the drained zucchini liquid, then wrap the zucchini in a cloth, twist shut and tighten to further squeeze out water.
- Add to the other ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Pour a thin layer of oil into a hot skillet over medium heat. Form the zucchini mixture into small patties (large patties will fall apart) and fry until brown on the first side, about 2-3 minutes. Turn carefully (they are delicate), then fry until the second side is brown.
- Serve warm with the remoulade.
