ZUCCHINI ROLL-UPS

Thinly sliced zucchini, grilled, then topped with the most delicious herb cottage cheese.

Pack them for a picnic or serve as an elegant appetizer. You can make these up to a day in advance. We love them the next day as all the flavors come together and they just melt in your mouth.
