We were in Virginia Beach for vacation recently, and the mid-Atlantic is crab central. I got a brainstorm to swap out the crab for summer zucchini, but that's really the only change in this recipe. It's heavy on the Old Bay, held together with saltines, and has a tangy bite of mustard and hot sauce.

- 2 Tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 1/2 lemon, juiced

Preparation
- Put grated zucchini in a paper towel-lined colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit to drain in the sink.

- In a small bowl, whisk mayo, yogurt, egg, Old Bay, lemon juice, mustard and hot sauce.
- Pick up the zucchini with the paper towel and squeeze, gently, but firmly, as much liquid out as possible. Add to vegetable-saltine bowl and toss. Mix in the mayo mixture until thoroughly combined.
