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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Slice the zucchini into thin half-moons and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the red onion into thin slices. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the red onion to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes until it softens slightly.
Step 5
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the zucchini to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, just enough to warm them through without losing their shape.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the warm salad and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a warm salad or side dish.
