1/4 cup prepared pesto
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/4 large lemon)

2 medium zucchini, cut into thin rounds (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 roasted red pepper (jarred), patted dry and cut into thin
strips
1. In a small bowl, combine pesto, oil and lemon juice.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Arrange zucchini slices, overlapping slightly, on a
platter. Top with red pepper strips and drizzle pesto

zucchini and red peppers.
