Microwaved Zucchini and Summer Squash

One of our favorite summer vegetable combos is yellow summer squash and zucchini. Don't miss out on this favorite as summer comes to an end.

1 small summer squash

• 1 small zucchini
• 1 small onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/8 tsp oregano, parsley or basil
• garlic powder - to taste
• Salt
• Pepper

Wash squash and zucchini and cut into 1/4" thick slices. Dice onion. Combine these three ingredients into a microwave-safe bowl (preferably that has a lid). Drizzle the olive oil on top and sprinkle your oregano and garlic powder on top. Place the lid on the container and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes - or until your preference of tenderness is reached. Makes a great side dish.

Love peppers? Dice up a half of a pepper and add it to the combination before microwaving.
