YELLOW SQUASH AND RED PEPPER SAUTE



Yellow Squash and Red Pepper Saute image

This is my favorite way to have yellow squash. I have to fight my husband for it because he loves it, too. I am estimating all the amounts. I usually just toss mine together with whatever amounts of squash and red pepper I have. I love the bright red and yellow colors dancing in the pan! Sometimes I sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar at the end and let it caramelize on the squash....not as beautiful a color but quite tasty.

Received this from another on line recipe site and loved the summery, bright flavors, ease of making and attractive presentation. I did add sweet onion and sweet peppers to the mix but posting as it was listed. Thinking it might also be good placed in a casserole dish, covered w/cheese and heated in the oven (just a thought)
