Late Summer Veggie Dishes
by Linda Dansbury

It's late in the season, veggies are transitioning, but some things are still coming in. Here are a few things I made this past week. Once again did grilled veggies - had friends stay with us and they really enjoyed the mix of eggplant, zucchini, peppers and onions. Simply drizzled with olive oil, flaked Sea Salt and mixed herbs when they came off the grill.

Cucumbers - made a Chinese inspired salad. Cut cucumbers into half inch chunks, lightly salt and let sit for about half an hour or so. Rinse well and pat dry. Mix rice vinegar, grated garlic, honey, sesame oil and garlic chili sauce together. Place cucumbers in serving bowl, pour dressing over and enjoy.

Tomatillos, onions, chili peppers, basil - made the Salsa Verde on this site. Yummy - had to use basil instead of cilantro and it was still great.
