That sounds really good, Mai.
For my tastebuds I think I'd cut back on the sugar, just a tad. But otherwise, a nice change from, say, slaw.

Yeah, I've tried Splenda.
Unfortunately, I've yet to find any artificial sweetener that I consider palatable. Almost all of them leave an aftertaste. And they're far too sweet to begin with. Most of the time I just use simple sugars: honey and maple syrup and cane syrup and the like.

One of the taverns I worked in as a 14 yr. old had a popular Sunday Buffet. The owner's wife worked all day Saturday making salads and desserts- and one of her popular salads was broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini and yellow crook-necked squash cut into bite-sized coins & tossed with lemon juice and TONS of Lawry's Seasoning Salt.This was chilled in a bowl over night.
Next day, she rinsed the Lawry's off the veggies, tossed with vinegar & oil & a pinch of sugar voila! Sounds way too simple, but I admit it was indeed very delish!

Ya know, Chubby, with one exception I've never seen Lawry's stuff outside the Midwest.
The exception: When we lived in Boston they used to have this garlic butter substitute. Maybe they still do. I haven't a clue what it was made of (probably some sort of saturated oil), but for a down & dirty garlic bread is was OK.

I never saw Lawry's anywhere else either, Brook, but here I am back in the Mid-West and every store's got it! Maybe it's like Miracle Whip- ain't a store shelf in Alaska with it- but at the work-camps where we had tons of southerners and mid-westerners- THEY demanded it! So we could always special -order it from suppliers but it took weeks to get and man- did they charge us an arm and a leg for it! (I always HATED what buying Mircle Whip did to my budget- mainly because I personally cannot STAND the stuff!)
