Let's get started  »

Step 1 - Gather Ingredients

2 Tbsp canola oil, divided (plus more for the grill)
1 small zucchini, cut lengthwise in 3 long strips
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeds removed, sliced in half
1 just ripe avocado, peeled, sliced in half
1/2 small red onion, sliced in half
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup cilantro, minced

Step 2 - Do the Grilling

Prepare grill by brushing with canola oil. Preheat grill to medium-high. Lightly brush both sides of vegetables with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of the canola oil. Place zucchini strips, bell pepper, avocado and onion halves on the grill for about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Step 3 - Almost There

Remove from grill. Finely dice zucchini, pepper and onion. Place in large bowl. Add avocado and mash in.
