Long, crunchy ribbons of zucchini make a low-calorie stand-in for tagliatelle pasta in this light, refreshing vegetarian side dish. Zucchini is a chock-full of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps protect the body from free radical damage (this cell damage has been linked to cancer, heart disease, and other diseases). Low in both calories and sodium and packed with fiber, this summer treat is something you can feel good about devouring. Serve alongside fish or toss in grilled tofu cubes for a quick and tasty meal.
