This in one of my first and favorite spiralized recipes. It’s a fast and easy one-skillet meal that leaves me very full and satisfied. I wasn’t a huge zucchini fan, but changing its texture by spiralizing it has opened up my taste buds to new ways of eating and cooking with zucchini. It has been one of my “core foods” to help me shed 15 lbs and get back to a healthier way of eating, again. Not only is this dish very flavorful, naturally low-calorie, but it’s also gluten-free! Won’t our “system” love that? The lemon juice and cilantro finishes the dish with a light a fresh taste. Perfect for a summer-time lunch outdoors.
