Asian Salad Dressing
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Pour ingredients into pint size jar. Cover and shake thoroughly. KM NOTE: This would be great to toss with grilled vegetables. Serve room temp.

Barbecue Sauce
1/2 cup Karo syrup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup onion, minced
One teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 8-ounce cans tomato sauce

Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil for two minutes. Great as a basting sauce for chicken.

One half teaspoon curry powder.

Stir together mayonnaise, reserved artichoke marinade, and curry powder. Combine with Rice-A-Roni and green onions. Serve cold. KM NOTE: Be careful with salads that contain mayonnaise. They must be kept cold at all times.

As always, excellent recipes. Super-duper five star rating on the B.B.Q. sauce. I like it spicy, so the Tabasco sauce added is right up my alley.
It feels good to write.
