EASY MARINATED ZUCCHINI & YELLOW SQUASH SIDE DISH FOR ONE



Easy Marinated Zucchini & Yellow Squash Side Dish for One image

This is one of the ways I like to cook up zucchini. People often think that zucchini and yellow squash are one in the same, just a different color, but I think zucchinis are chewier and tarter while yellow squash has a sweeter taste. But they both taste great together and also make for a pleasing dish to look at because of the way the colors pop out. Please note that measurements here are approximate except the olive oil; I just shook the spices on until they were coated.
