So, I actually made it and then did a taste test: Your raw veggie marinade vs DH's favorite sauce, Bachan's Japanese Barbeque Sauce. He uses it on EVERYTHING--it's his version of ketchup. Frankly, I don't like his sauce. It's too pungent and salty.
So your marinade was the clear winner as far as I'm concerned... it's flavorful without being overwhelming. I used it on my homegrown cucumber. I haven't had a chance to try it on DH yet, but I will! (Last night he brought home pizza unexpectedly).
