RECIPE BY Cooking Light

For more tender zucchini, leave slices in the pan an extra 1 minute on each side. When the flesh starts to look translucent, the zucchini is done.

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 1/3 cup diced tomato
  • 2 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Nice variation for zucchini

Really liked this preparation.  I grilled for 5 minutes on each side and it could've used even a couple more minutes as the zucchini was slightly under cooked.  Still good though and will definitely make again.

this recipe was fast, fresh and so delicious. I had the tomato, basil, and zucchini right in my garden. Made it 2 nights in a row.

Might go with half a clove next time, but otherwise, this is is simple, easy, cheap and perfect.
