Definitely add jicama, if you can get it, for a sweet and juicy crunch. Cucumbers will suffice too. We used frozen corn instead of canned, not cooked and barely thawed. For a long time I haven't been able to eat this salad, but now (summer '09) there's a yogurt-based Ranch dressing (in the produce refrigerated section) that allows my lactose intolerant stomach to digest this salad again! Thanks for reminding me!

Old-Fashioned Italian Zucchini Fritters

Reviewed: Aug. 21, 2008

I loved these! This recipe seemed simpler than other recipes and I had everything on hand. I grated zucchini for zucchini bread. This was the perfect recipe for the extra grated zucchini! One addition I made was to add a green onion stalk to the basil before chopping.

Chicken Piccata I

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2008

Great basic recipe! My favorite crumbs to bread the chicken with are Toasted crackers cut with a little flour. I also add extra garlic powder. Definitely needs more sauce. I approximately quadruple it, add a quarter cup chicken broth, then let it reduce. Also I find that 2 parts wine to 1 part lemon juice plus a little broth made the sauce less bitter. I also add capers, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, and diced fresh tomatoes. Next time I'm going to chop a little fresh spinach and throw that in the sauce too for more color and a little extra vitamin umph!
