Chopped Zucchini Mexicano


Chopped Zucchini Mexicano

Serve this hot and pretty salad on a bed of sprouts or as stuffing in a red pepper. Use the highly flavored jalapeno, garlic and cilantro to taste. Some jalapenos are devilishly hot, so be careful. This salad is intended to be a side dish rather than an entree. It looks attractive on the plate and its intense flavor works well as a condiment.

1 medium Zucchini, chopped
1/4 red onion, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 - 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (to taste)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (or more, to taste)
1 small clove garlic, minced
Pinch ground coriander seed
Dash lemon juice

Toss together, adjust seasonings. Serves 3-4 as a side dish.
