Grilled Zucchini "Fillets"

Serving Size  : 2    

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2              small  zucchini squash
     1/4           cup  olive oil
  2          teaspoons  minced garlic
     1/2      teaspoon  salt

Preheat grill to high.  While grill is heating, cut ends off zucchini and
slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (the trick to this is to cut
the first slice off the bottom, so the zucchini will sit flat for
slicing).

Combine oil, garlic and salt in a flat-bottomed bowl or pan (or use a
plastic bag) and toss zucchini fillets in dressing (for a stronger flavor,
this step may be done in advance and the zucchini marinated in the
dressing).

Place zucchini fillets on a very hot grill and grill briefly on each side.
 Do NOT cook until soft, leave crisp!
