Steps:
- For the buttermilk ranch dipping sauce: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, dill, celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- For the zucchini fries: Add the flour to a shallow baking dish. In a second baking dish, lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a third baking dish, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; gently crush all the ingredients together with your hands--this will ensure an even coating on the zucchini.
- Lightly coat the zucchini sticks in the flour and then dip into egg mixture, coating evenly. Gently shake to remove excess egg and then generously coat the zucchini in the panko mixture. Transfer the breaded zucchini to a baking sheet.
- Fill a high-sided skillet with about 1 inch of oil--make sure the oil does not rise more than halfway up the side of the skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the zucchini sticks to the pan. Cook until light golden brown, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove the zucchini to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 175-degree oven until ready to serve.
- Serve the zucchini fries with the dipping sauce on side.

Tips:
- To ensure your zucchini slices are evenly cooked and crispy, make sure they are all cut to the same thickness.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow fry the zucchini slices in a large skillet with hot oil. Just make sure the oil is at least 1 inch deep so that the zucchini slices are fully submerged.
- For a healthier alternative, you can bake the zucchini slices in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- The mayo-dill sauce is the perfect complement to the crispy zucchini slices. Be sure to use fresh dill for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
Conclusion:
Fried zucchini with mayo-dill sauce and tomato is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. The crispy zucchini slices are perfectly complemented by the creamy mayo-dill sauce and the tangy tomatoes. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
