I used this recipe as a side dish for Sunday Brunch - excellent. This will be made over and over again. I used white balsamic vinegar and chives instead of green onion. Cut the recipe back to 12 appies. Thanks Engrossed for a real keeper.

Very unusual appy! It has crunch from the garlic, sour from the vinegar and softness from the zucchini and heat from the cayenne. You can taste each component. I will definitely be making this for get togethers this summer. I used white wine vinegar as I thought the plain vinegar would be to overpowering. Thanks T for sharing! Made for Billboard and Summer Vacation Tags.
