I love zucchini and just purchased some lovely ones at the farmer's market. I normally just slice and saute them in some olive oil with S&P but tonight I think I might do some on the BBQ grill along with some ribs. I like to put some zucchini in my salad as well, or just slice it up and dip it in some ranch dressing to nibble on. Great veggie!
