These cute stuffed zucchini boats are the perfect fix for summer's bumper crop of zucchini and tomatoes, and they are ready and on the table in a quick half hour. Hearty enough to stand alone as a main dish, the zucchini are also great paired with grilled chicken or fish. They can be served straight out of the oven, and also taste great at room temperature. Plus, they stay plenty moist thanks to the feta and ranch dressing drizzle, so could also be served salad-style on a bed of herbed greens. Not a mushroom lover? Diced roasted eggplant would make a great substitute and so would steamed fresh corn kernels cut off the cob.

Ingredients

Uncooked zucchini

4 medium

Tomato

4 large, cored and finely chopped

Shallot

2 medium, or 1 small onion, finely chopped

Table salt

½ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Reduced fat feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. In a large pot of boiling water, cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well. Scoop out and discard pulp in center.
  2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add tomatoes, shallots or onion, and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat until pulpy, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil, salt and pepper.
  3. Generously spoon filling into 8 zucchini halves. Arrange 2 per plate.
  4. In a bowl, stir together feta cheese and salad dressing. Drizzle over stuffed zucchini. Yields 2 stuffed and dressed halves per serving.
