Oreiental Zucchini Salad - Wheat Free/Grain Free/Dairy Free/Sugar Free

Oriental Zucchini Salad


OK, one more use for my over abundance of zucchini and then I'll stop - at least for the moment.  This one is a good change of pace.  It has a uniquely oriental flavor from the sesame oil.  If you want a bit more kick, you can use chili oil, which is sesame oil that's been steeped in chilis, but be careful, a little of this stuff goes a long way.

1 medium zucchini
1 medium tomato (fresh grown is best)
1/4 C avocado
1 T finely chopped onion
2 T gluten free soy sauce (can use shoyu or liquid aminos)
1 t sesame oil or chili oil
1/2 t sesame seeds

Steam the zucchini until almost soft.  Cut up into 1" pieces, and so the same with the tomato and avocado.  Toss with chopped onion.  Mix oil and soy sauce and pour on and toss again.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
