Zucchini and Tomato with Mustard

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
2 medium tomatoes 
1 small Vidalia onion or other sweet onion 
3 tablespoons dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme 
2 tablespoons plain yogurt 
1-1/2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar 
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water 
Black pepper, freshly ground. 
Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

1. Remove the skin from the zucchini. Remove the seeds and then cut them into cubes. Place it in a medium-size bowl. 

2. Dice the onion into a medium-size. Mix it into the zucchini.

3. Place a medium-size sauté pan over medium heat. Spray it with cooking spray. Add the zucchini-onion mixture into the pan. Sauté 3 to 4 minutes. 

4. Add water to pan. Simmer for an additional 4 minutes. Make sure that the zucchini does not become soft or mushy.

5. Drain off the water. Transfer to bowl. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

6. Peal and cut the tomatoes into 4 pieces. Remove the seeds. Chop the tomato into pieces of size about twice as large as the zucchini cubes.

7. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, yogurt thyme and pepper. Emulsify by beating with a whisk.

8. Add tomato (from step 6) to the zucchini mixture (step 5). Toss with the mustard dressing (step 7). Serve immediately.
