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!)
