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.
