Very Good 4.1/5 (43 ratings) Zucchini Ribbons with Lemony Bread Crumbs Ever tried turning zucchini into "pasta"? With a vegetable peeler, it's easy to create ribbons of squash. Submitted by CHEF_MEG Carbs: 11g \| Fat: 1.3g \| Fiber: 3.1g \| Protein: 1.7g \| Calories: 56.4	Very Good 4.3/5 (74 ratings) Blacks Bean and Brown Rice A simple, hearty meat-free meal. Pair with a green salad, and dinner is ready. Submitted by CHEF_MEG Carbs: 45.6g \| Fat: 1.4g \| Fiber: 7.7g \| Protein: 8.8g \| Calories: 213.2
Very Good 4.5/5 (74 ratings) Roasted Zucchini and Yellow (Summer) Squash One of our favorite sides. Quick and easy to make. Tastes good hot or cold and reheats well in the microwave. Submitted by BOOKWORM81 Carbs: 5.5g \| Fat: 2.4g \| Fiber: 2g \| Protein: 1.3g \| Calories: 43.4	Very Good 4.2/5 (313 ratings) Black Bean 'Hummus' Hummus goes South of the Border! Submitted by SP_STEPF Carbs: 20.9g \| Fat: 1.6g \| Fiber: 7.1g \| Protein: 7.3g \| Calories: 122.7
Very Good 4.4/5 (23 ratings) Cool-as-a-Cucumber Raita This creamy, tangy dip does double duty: with mint, it's a perfect pair with Greek fare; with coriander and cumin, it cools down spicy Indian curries. Submitted by CHEF_MEG Carbs: 2g \| Fat: 0g \| Fiber: 0.3g \| Protein: 2.1g \| Calories: 15.6	Very Good 4.1/5 (38 ratings) Vegetable and Fruit Stuffing Whole wheat bread gives this side staying power. The fruits and vegetables bulk up the dish, so a little goes a long way. A bit of turkey bacon adds another layer of flavor without adding many calories. Submitted by CHEF_MEG Carbs: 15g \| Fat: 1.1g \| Fiber: 2.5g \| Protein: 2.7g \| Calories: 78.4
Very Good 4.3/5 (235 ratings) Low Cholesterol Scalloped Potatoes A low-fat, heart healthy version of this traditional comfort food. Carbs: 11.2g \| Fat: 5.9g \| Fiber: 2.2g \| Protein: 4.2g \| Calories: 111.3	(no ratings) Saffron, Zucchini and Herb Couscous From Food Network's Ina Garten (I tried the recipe and if you use dried basil only 3 tbsp are recommended; however, it is still a bit overpowering. I'd suggest 1 tbsp only unless you love the taste of basil.) Submitted by LAC936 Carbs: 27.2g \| Fat: 7g \| Fiber: 3.2g \| Protein: 5.1g \| Calories: 192.3
