"I had a zucchini and I had some sweet peppers and added a bit of imagination - ergo this recipe. I like to use three different coloured peppers but it really doesn't matter if you use six tablespoons of one colour pepper. If you are not a spice hound cut back on the Tex Mex and use mild salsa. I like the peppers & Zuke crunchy but if you like them well done simole bake longer"

Have to love how zucchini and peppers come together to make for a wonderful great tasting side - for me made for a light and lovely evening meal. I keep the pepper trio on my shopping list which had me using the green red and yellow peppers,for the cheese I used Cracker Barrel's shredded Montery Jack/Cheddar/mozzarella (that was what I had on hand) and some super hot Salsa from the Farmer's Market. Enjoyed every bite. Printout to my recipe drawer!
