For best results, use a mandoline to thinly slice the zucchini for a uniform texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. Some prefer a tangier salad, while others prefer a sweeter flavor profile. Other vegetables can be added to the salad, such as red bell pepper, carrots, or red onion. If you don't have white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time.
