Olive Oil Diet? What?

A day on the olive oil diet and a great veggie recipe!!!!
3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil (used in cooking or as a dressing)
3 cups veg (at least)
2-3 serves fruit
6-7 serves starch (wholegrains where possible)
2 serves dairy (including eggs)
1/2 serve of white meat or fish (3 serves a week)
Grilled Zucchini & Veggies
Ingredients:
6 small zucchini
1 large sweet onion
8 mini red, yellow, orange peppers (a mix of)
2 tablespoons Galena Garlic Backyard BBQ seasoning
2 tablespoons Galena Garlic Bourbon Molasses seasoning
4 tablespoons Oh Olive Baklouti Green Chili Oil
2 tablespoons Oh Olive Garlic Olive Oil
*18 Year or Fig Balsamic reduction: Heat 18 Year or Fig Balsamic in a small saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat and let cool. Put in a plastic mustard or ketchup container with pointed cap. Keep refrigerated for drizzling on your veggies, steaks, etc.
Cut zucchini lengthwise into 2-3 inch pieces. Cut mini peppers in half and add to zucchini. Slice onion into rings and add to veggie mix. Drizzle both oils over veggies. Sprinkle with the two spice blends and toss in a 9 x 12 (or larger) roasting pan. Roast at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until desired doneness. Take veggies out of oven and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Serve or refrigerate when cool, for later use.
