Tuesday's Cupful: Cooking with Zucchini

Jazzing up this bland veggie

As veggies go, a zucchini can be boring. What are its culinary strengths? A ripe zucchini has subtle nutty or earthy flavors. The slight crunch and crisp texture of this veggie is also a plus. We suggest dicing up zucchini into small cubes and adding them to any mixed vegetable medley. You can also add diced zucchini to traditional soup recipes like minestrone or chicken noodle. Julienned zucchini goes well in any Asian stir-fry. Lastly, sneak some blanched zucchini slices to any cheesy potato au gratin to make it more nutritious.
