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. - A _________________________________________________________________ http://liveearth.msn.com
