Dietician Tip

Zucchini slices are lightly sauteed and tossed with herbs instead of being breaded and fried. This recipe also uses olive oil, a source of monounsaturated fat.

Directions

In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini slices and saute until their colors intensify, about 5 minutes. Add the dill, cilantro and scallions and stir until evenly mixed. Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve right away.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced yellow zucchini
2 cups thinly sliced green zucchini
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
