Fat Loss Super Food: Grilled Zucchini Recipe
By: Shannon Clark
If you’ve ever met me, you’d know that I’m a fairly strong proponent of finding great tasting foods that will work with your diet. I firmly believe that a fat loss diet does not need to feel like torture as long as you’re willing to get a bit creative and try new things.
I will admit that in my day I’ve tried some pretty interesting (what I call, ‘creative’ anyway) recipes; some turned out great, others, well they earned me a few funny looks. Either way you look at it though, experimenting with healthy foods and low calorie/low sugar/low fat condiments is one of the best ways to prevent dietary boredom, especially when it comes to vegetables.
Most people stick with the same old vegetables day after day after day and eventually just stop eating them altogether because they feel as though if they even see another plate of steamed broccoli they may just lose it.
Recently, I came across this recipe for grilled zucchini, which is extremely easy to make healthy. What do you do? Replace the salad dressing for a fat free variety (maybe add a bit of olive oil to it if you want to up your intake of healthy fats).
So there you have the recipe.
1 large zucchini
1/4 cup Italian Salad Dress
Slice the zucchini into thin strips and then let stand in salad dressing for a few minutes. Place the strips over a hot grill (the BBQ or oven will work) and flip at half time – about 3-4 minutes per side.
It doesn’t get much more simple than that, so next time you’re looking for something to replace your cauliflower or salad, consider this.
