Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Slice the zucchini into thin half-moons and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Peel and finely chop the red onion into thin slices. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the red onion to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until it softens slightly.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the zucchini to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, just enough to warm them through without losing their shape.
Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the warm salad and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a warm salad or side dish.
