Serving size
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 zucchini small
- 1-2 grilled red peppers from a jar
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes red and yellow
- 1/2 cup Italian marinated mushrooms (Antipasti)
- 1 clove garlic – crushed
- 5 leaves Fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried
- 1 tbsp. Ideal Protein Balsamic Dressing
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Slice the zucchini ¼ inch thick, sprinkle them with salt and pan fry them in olive oil on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Alternatively you can broil them in the oven for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Step 2
Remove the zucchini from the pan and place them in the salad bowl. Toss 1 chopped garlic clove directly over the zucchini and tear a few basil leaves into the salad bowl to allow the warm zucchini absorb the flavors.
Step 3
Slice the grilled peppers and tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Step 4
Now, mix in the mushrooms and drizzle a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Mix everything carefully without mashing up your delicate vegetables.
Step 5
Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy!
