Ingredients
  • 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup  chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup  chopped red or green sweet pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons  olive oil or cooking oil

From the Test KitchenGarlic Storage Tip:
  • Keep garlic on hand for adding a boost of flavor to many recipes--without adding fat or calories. Store fresh garlic in a cool, dry, dark place. Leave the bulb whole, as individual cloves dry out quickly. Minced garlic is available in easy-to-use jars and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
