Post Shredded Wheat Zucchini Fritters with Dill Dipping Sauce 

Zucchini Fritters

• 3 medium zucchini (about 1 pound) grated and patted dry with paper towels
• 3/4 cup Post Shredded Wheat Big Biscuit cereal, finely crushed (approximately 2 Big Biscuits)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I mixed grated and shredded)
• 1 clove garlic, pressed
• 1 whole egg or 3 egg whites beaten
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Olive oil cooking spray
  

Dill Dipping Sauce:

• 1/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  

Garnish:

• Fresh dill sprigs
• Crumbled Shredded Wheat cereal

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, Post Shredded Wheat cereal, Parmesan, garlic and egg; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Using a 1/3 cup measure, scoop batter for each fritter, flattening into a circle, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 3 minutes longer. (Continue to spray skillet as needed until all the fritters are cooked.)
3. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt and dill. Serve with zucchini fritters. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill and a light sprinkle of crumbled Post Shredded Wheat cereal.
