Zucchini & Greens with Sauteed Veggies

A healthy post, from me? What? This was just an experimentation, but I thought it turned out pretty good, so I wanted to share it. 

So make it and tell me if you like it - or what you'd change. The great thing about it is that you get a HEAPING plate of food for less than 350 calories. YUM!


Ingredients:
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 1 c. fresh spinach
  • 1/4 c. Bush's Black Beans (reduced sodium)
  • 1 c. fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 c. green onion, chopped
  • A drizzle of olive oil
  • Seasonings of choice
  • 1/2 avocado, chopped
Top With:
  • Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing (my favorite!)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
  1. Using a potato peeler, peel the zucchini into "noodle-like" strips until you have approximately 1 cup. Place on plate, topped with spinach and black beans.
  2. Heat medium fry pan on medium heat. Drizzle small amount of olive oil in pan. Add mushrooms, pepper, green onion, and seasoning of choice (I used Salt-Free Mrs. Dash Italian Herb and some home-made seasoning salt). Saute until tender and then empty onto zucchini, spinach, and beans.
  3. Top with chopped avocado, dressing, and Parmesan cheese.
