1 tsp minced garlic (roasted is yummy)
2 egg whites

Roughly mash these ingredients together and add:

1 1/3 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 cup whole grain bread crumbs

Serving ideas:

These were yummy with fish tacos. You could serve as the main course with a green salad for a tasty vegetarian meal. Try as a vegetarian burger with your favorite healthy toppings. If you are not a greek yogurt fan yet, try it as a snack with fresh berries and honey or granola. Its a great substitution for sour cream as a topping and in cooking. Also, season with fresh herbs and spices for a dip for vegees and pita. Enjoy!
