Ingredient spotlight
This is not a full list of the ingredients you need, but a highlight of some of the ingredients and why I use them in this recipe.
- Lemon juice and red wine vinegar – I know this seems strange to add 2 forms of acid but the lemon juice and red wine vinegar combo really makes this taste like your favorite greek dressing.
- Veggies – I like to use a combination of zucchini, bell peppers and red onion. This was my mom’s go to veggie combo and I love it too. Use whatever veggies you have on hand.
How to make Greek vegetables
Chop the veggies: I like to do half moons with the zucchini, chop the bell pepper and red onion into bite size pieces.
Once a skillet has been preheated over medium heat, spray with avocado oil and add the veggies. Cook for 7 minutes,. stirring occasionally.
In a bowl make the Greek dressing by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and spices. Once the veggies are softened, pour over the Greek dressing. Cook 3-4 more minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
