Italian Zucchini and Peppers


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
  1. Heat a large pan and add either the olive oil or the dressing.
  2. Add the sliced zucchini, garlic and peppers.
  3. Saute until just starting to soften.
  4. Squeeze over the lemon juice.
  5. Add the oregano and cheese.
  6. Stir and serve.

  6. You have to rerun this recipe in late July/early August when zucchini pours in from the garden and we all start scrambling for new ways to cook it! This looks like a great recipe and I can't wait to try it.
