Grate zucchini and carrots (using the side of the grater that produces the largest veggie ribbons.) Transfer to a large bowl. Cut the yellow pepper and radishes into 1-inch matchsticks and add to bowl. Add finely chopped celery, the fresh sweet corn kernels and fresh herbs. In a small bowl, combine mayo, lemon juice, celery seed, sugar, salt, lemon zest, and a few turns of freshly grated black pepper. Mix well.
