If you're into a little cooking, you could do a mushroom or nut paté.
Raw foodies make hummus from zucchini, and what I've tasted is actually really good. I've never tried to make it myself, but here's a recipe:

I always make my own tahini too, it's so much fresher. Just about anyplace has the Arrowhead Mills brand 12-oz bags of sesame seeds, and all you have to do is whir them in a blender for a couple minutes (the mini-blender attachment for a stick blender is perfect for this) - it won't be as smooth as commercial tahini, but once I put it in a recipe I never notice the difference.
