Dash™ Garlic & Herb Grilled Zucchini
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Member's Mark™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 Lemon zested
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 3 tsp Dash™ Garlic & Herb Seasoning
- 6 small Zucchini ends trimmed off, cut into 1/3-inch wide planks

- Preheat a grill to 400-425℉. Add the zucchini to the grill in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or just until crisp-tender. Transfer to a serving platter and brush with some leftover marinade, if desired. Serve with homemade ranch or whipped feta!
