Zucchini Nachos

Submitted by Pam-I-Am

"This is a great way to serve zucchini as a side dish, or you can add some chicken for a main dish. It calls for cream of celery soup, but you can experiment with other soups such as cream of chicken or some of the southwest cream flavor soups Campbell's has now."

This was an unusual way to use some of my zucchini excess. Nobody else in my house would give it a shot (because it was out of the ordinary). I thought it was okay but probably won't remake it because it is a lot for one person to consume. Sorry- may be a better recipe for someone whose family is more adventurous (or veggie-loving). Thanks for a different type of recipe.
