Recipes: Zucchini with Pecans

This recipe gave me an appreciation for the taste of just regular zucchini. Previously I was never a fan. Except when added to another dish, or shredded in some baked goodies.

At first I was a little nervous about the pecans, but I really like the extra crunch that it had.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups julienned zucchini
• 1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• Dash pepper
• 2 tablespoons toasted, chopped pecans

Directions

1. In a skillet, saute zucchini in oil for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper and pecans. Serve immediately.

Not to make this recipe...better..I like to use some butter, and add a little more pecans than the recipe calls for. I also realized that I like zucchini better when it's julienned.And I would absolutely make this again as a quick veggie side. Yay!!
