"'I made this dish for my Women's Health Initiative Group at our local university, and everyone just loved it,' informs Betty Washburn of Reno, Nevada. 'The grilled vegetables pick up a pleasantly mild flavor from the lemon juice and herb seasonings.'"

This recipe was refreshing. I have been cooking and collecting recipes for over 50years and also have cookbooks dating back over 125 years. I also love ethnic cooking as I am half Italain and half Polish and raised Greek!! I truly love authentic Greek & Italian recipes My Greek step-dad was a wonderful cook . What I have learned is to basically read thru a recipe if it sounds good and always adjust things to your taste. You get what you put into it ...

I only had two zucchinis, but I didn't half any of the other ingredients. It still lacked flavor. I will try it again, but will probably add more spices. I also didn't put in the olives because I don't like them, or the onions because I didn't have any.
