Servings: 4

Servings: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 medium 2-inch-wide washed zucchini
  • ½ tsp. Himalayan salt, divided
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground pepper, divided
  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar (Bragg’s)
  • 1 tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 cup quartered grape red and yellow tomatoes
  • ½ cup diced ‘fresh’ mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp. ground flax seed-Omega 3 EFA and fiber
Steps
  1. Trim both ends off zucchini; cut in half lengthwise. Cut a thin slice off the backs so each half sits flat. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a ¼-inch shell. Finely chop the pulp; set aside.
  2. Rub the inside with extra virgin olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper
  3. Place the zucchini halves meat side down onto the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover grill and heat until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Not too long!
  5. Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add tomatoes, cheese, basil and the reserved zucchini pulp; toss to combine. Divide the filling among the shells.
