Quick Tip
Salting the zucchini first helps to draw out excess moisture, making it tender and pliable. If you don’t have a mandoline
to thinly slice the zucchini, use a vegetable peeler to peel it into thin ribbons.

Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
