Best Zucchini Pate Recipes
ZUCCHINI/HERB PATE
Meet the Cook: A friend gave me the recipe for this pate after she'd served it at a formal wedding reception. But I make it most often to spread on crackers at picnics, potlucks and other casual get-togethers. My family - my husband, son and I - live on a small acreage. We all enjoy gardening (I grow my own herbs and vegetables). Hunting for antiques is a frequent activity of ours, too! -Melissa Sullivan, Iuka, Kansas

ZUCCHINI PATE
Nice summer pate, you can easily double the recipe for a large crowd. I sometimes add some paprika powder. Also nice spread on a sandwich and then topped with tomato and cucumber.
