SAUTEED SPRING VEGETABLES

Sauteed Spring Vegetables image

Yellow squash, green asparagus and red onion help usher in the flavors of springtime. For an Asian flavor twist, substitute soy sauce for the balsamic vinegar (reducing the salt due to the soy sauce). Use red pepper flakes for a little added heat. -Billy Hensley, Mount Carmel, Tennessee
