Zucchini, Apple & Scallion Pancakes with 3 Sauces

Zucchini, Apple & Scallion Pancakes

Ingredients:

* 3 small zucchini
* 2 apples
* a few scallions
* pancake mix

Shred the zucchini and the apples or chop them into very small pieces. Chop the scallions into small rings using most of the green as well as the white. Mix up the pancake batter according to instructions -- I used an organic buttermilk mix. Add some salt and any other spices you want. Add the zucchini, apples and scallions and mix it all together. Use one tablespoon of batter for a each pancake.

Spinach Pesto

Ingredients:

* 1 bunch spinach, most of stems removed
* 1 bunch basil, stems removed
* 1 cup or so of nuts or seeds (walnuts, almonds, hemp seeds, pine nuts, whatever...)
* 1/3 cup olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic
* 1 lemon
* salt to taste

Process all of the ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

Cucumber, Yogurt, Dill Sauce

* 1 or 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped into large pieces
* 1 container plain yogurt (I use organic, low-fat)
* 1 bunch dill
* 1 lemon
* salt to taste

Shred or finely chop the cucumber. Chop the dill, just as much as you want. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.

Mango Chutney

I buy it. If you want a thinner sauce, combine with a little apple cider vinegar.
