Summer is the season for squash. Yellow summer squash and zucchini are plentiful in South Texas in the summer months. Here’s an easy dish that is light and refreshing. Made primarily from vegetables from our local farmer. It doesn’t get any fresher than that!
I like to prepare all the vegetables in advance and line them up, along with anything else that goes in the dish. That way, cooking is a breeze. Below are the cut up onion, squashes, mushrooms, and tomatoes — all ready for the cooking to begin.

Did you know that the secret to a good sauté is to start with a hot pan? Then keep the food ‘jumping’ by stirring or shaking the pan. Set a timer for heating the pan and oil, don’t rush this part! Sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan. It should sizzle!
If you like it spicy, add a bit of crushed red pepper to this dish! Yum!
