I really liked this. I added a little more lemon pepper than it called for.

Delicious and simple! Don't skip the fresh cilantro, it really makes the dish! I'll be using this fresh-tasting recipe often.

substituted 1 can drained canned crisp no salt added corn. Watch the zucchini closely! It goes from undercooked to overcooked rapidly. Easy and tasty recipe. Loved the tart flavor and the crunch of the corn.
