Something so simple can be absolutely delicious! It’s hard to improve on tasty fresh vegetables in their most basic form. This side was a perfect example of that. My husband isn’t wild about either zucchini OR leeks yet he raved about this with our BBQ chicken last night. Said I could fix that again any old time. I have to admit it was delicious. I reheated the leftovers with a Salisbury Steak today for lunch and my impression of this vegetable side just grew more favorable! 🙂 This recipe is suitable for all phases of Atkins and Keto programs as well as Primal and Paleo diets.
