[CH] Ahh, fresh

Recently I've been tasting off-the-shelf "Asian" salad dressings like 
Krogers and Ken's.  So I got a bottle of Ken's and looked at the 
medium-sized zuccini I had, from the neighbor.

I cut the zuccini into julienne strips, same with a small immature bell I 
took off to lighten one of my plants.  I poured some of the dressing over 
that and let it marinate for a while, then added a little splash of cane 
vinegar.

OK, but where's the heat?  Of course there was none in the commercial 
dressing, so I finely sliced up some "kung pao" peppers from my garden and 
mixed them in.  A taste at first gave no heat, and I thought maybe the pods 
were too green, but after ten minutes or so they opened up quite nicely.

Ahh, fresh.
