Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise into ribbons
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, quartered
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup prepared Italian salad dressing
  • 1 loaf ciabatta bread (14 ounces), split
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

Directions

  1. In a bowl or shallow dish, combine the zucchini, pepper, onion and salad dressing. Cover and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Drain and discard marinade.
