Prep and Cook Time: 3 minutes Ingredients: 2 lb of medium Zucchini 5 TBS low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth Mediterranean Dressing: 3 TBS extra virgin olive oil (or to taste) 2 tsp lemon juice 1 medium clove garlic, pressed or finely chopped Sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Chop garlic and let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
2. Heat broth or water in a covered stainless steel skillet on medium heat. If using a medium size burner or on low if using a large size burner.
3. As soon as liquid begins to steam, add Zucchini and cook, covered with a tight fitting lid for 3 minutes (of 1-1/2 minute on each side). "Healthy Sauteéed" Zucchini will be tender. If it becomes translucent, it is overcooked.
4. Transfer to a bowl. For more flavor, toss Zucchini with the remaining ingredients while it is still hot. (Mediterranean Dressing does not need to be made separately.) Research shows that fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids found in foods such as Zucchini may be better absorbed when consumed with fat-contining foods like extra virgin olive oil.
