served it at a formal wedding reception. But I make it most

casual get-togethers. - Melissa Sullivan, Iuka, Kansas

4 medium zucchini (about
1 pound)
2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 cup snipped fresh chives or
1/4 cup dried chives
1 (8-ounce) package light cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions: Line a mixing bowl with a double thickness of cheesecloth.
Coarsely shred zucchini into prepared bowl. Sprinkle with vinegar,
