Provided by Marie

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
1 cup diagonally sliced carrot
3/4 cup snow peas
3/4 cup sliced yellow squash
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup red pepper, strips
1/2 cup onion, wedges
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 package good seasons Italian salad dressing mix
salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat and add vegetables.
  • Cook and stir until crisp tender.
  • Stir in vinegar and salad dressing mix and cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.
  • Adjust seasoning as necessary by adding salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Prep your veggies: Before you start cooking, wash and cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use high heat: A hot pan will help to sear the vegetables and give them a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Stir frequently: This will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add some flavor: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.

Conclusion:

Sautéed vegetables are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite veggies. They are quick and easy to make, and they can be served as a side dish, main course, or appetizer. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a colorful and flavorful sautéed vegetable dish that everyone will enjoy.
