This is a tasty side dish that goes with any meal. Low in fat and sodium, but the lemon gives it the kick it needs. Our family really enjoys it.
- 2 zucchini
- 1 large red pepper or a combination of colors
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese (more if you like)
- 1 tsp. oregano
- freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste, I usually do half a lemon
- 2 tsp. olive oil or 2 tbsp. fat free Italian dressing
- Heat a large pan and add either the olive oil or the dressing.
- Add the sliced zucchini, garlic and peppers.
- Saute until just starting to soften.
- Squeeze over the lemon juice.
- Add the oregano and cheese.
- Stir and serve.
