Vegetable Ribbons Side Dish
This easy recipe is another one of my husband's favorites.
I like it too, not only because it's tasty, but because it's so easy to make!
It takes no time to peel the veggies and no time to cook. All you need is a few
carrots and summer squash to make this beautiful vegetable side dish.
I
like to use one green and one yellow summer squash for the color contrast.
You can sauté them in olive oil and butter, or steam them for an even healthier dish.
You
can also use a variety of different seasonings to give these ribbon vegetables
a different flavor every time you make them. They're a perfect side dish for fish
brightened up with parsley and lemon. My favorite way to enjoy them is to season
them with marjoram. Sometimes I add just a few mild banana pepper rings which
gives them a totally different flavor.
