DRESSING

ZUCCHINI

Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Cut the zucchini into thin sticks, about " by 2". Dust with flour.

Heat several inches of vegetable oil to 375F in a heavy skillet. Fry the zucchini in batches until golden brown and quite crisp. Drain on paper towels while you fry the rest.

When all the zucchini is fried, mound it on a serving platter and drizzle it with the dressing. Serve immediately.
