Italian vegetables

  • I saw this recipe in the simple and delicious magazine.  I found it on the website, but modified it to make more veggies.  It turned out only OK.  Tavio didn't like the Italian dressing, Brandon doesn't like zucchini, Duncan tried to sneakily throw his carrots down the drain without me noticing - Aaron never touches his veggies.  Luckily Benjamin was very hungry and ate all of his without complaint.  I thought they were fine (4 star) but will give them only 3 considering the family's reaction to them.
Ingredients 

  • 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 onion coarsley chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing (original recipe said fat free - I had light)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
In a nonstick skillet, bring carrot and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, onion and zucchini; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 minutes. Add salad dressing and oregano. Cook and stir over medium heat for 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced.
