I was looking for a recipe to use cherry tomatoes from my garden that I currently have a surplus of. This was a easy and delicious side dish that fit the bill. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. Thank you for a yummy summer dish! I will definitely make this again

Outstanding zucchini recipe. I had just picked a bushel of fresh tomatoes, so I used one large tomato chopped, in place of the cherry tomatoes. Otherwise I followed this recipe exactly. There is so much flavour in this dish and it is low calorie too. Thanks for the recipe.

This is a great side dish for this time of year. It's colorful, easy, tasty, and quick. We served it alongside a veggie chicken patty on a bun with fixins.
