Summer Squash

I LOVE fresh summer squash. It is high in fiber, Vitamin C, beta carotene, and folate. It’s only 36 calories per 1 cup cooked. Try this simple, delicious recipe as a side or add some extra protein and make it a full meal.

 

Ingredients

  • 3 yellow squash or zucchini, cut into slices
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian Herb Blend or chopped fresh parsley, oregano and basil to taste
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto
  • 2 Tbsp coarsely grated Parmesan cheese (more or less to taste)
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
