- TIP: While we love the convenience of canned beans, they tend to be high in sodium. Give them a good rinse before adding to a recipe to rid them of some of their sodium (up to 35 percent) or opt for low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties. Or, if you have the time, cook your own beans from scratch.

SUMMER SQUASH SAUTÉ WITH TOMATO & BASIL
Steps:
- After you have chopped all your ingredients, heat a large skillet with 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil over medium to medium high flame. Before oil smokes, add onion and bell pepper pieces. Sauté for a minute, then add both squash. I like to cook this dish with kind of a high flame to caramelize the outside of the vegetables. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, cook at a lower temp. Be sure to flip or stir your vegetables, so that they don't burn. About half way through cooking the squash (about 5 min.), add the tomatoes. Then just about a minute before the squash is ready (about another 4 min.), stir in the fresh basil, and season with salt, pepper, & granulated garlic. Then enjoy!

SUMMER SQUASH AND CORN SAUTE
This is another recipe from Vegetarian Express--just in time to use up more squash. I may make this by the weekend. We don't have a garden, but were given some squash. But, I need fresh tomatoes. However, I think I have some canned tomatoes, which would do in a pinch. But, nothing beats fresh garden tomatoes! You could also use...

Steps:
- 1. Heat the oil and water, in a large skillet. Add the garlic and squash and sauté over medium-high heat, until squash is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2. Add the remaining ingredients and sauté 5-7 minutes more, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened and the mixture is heated through.
Tips:
- Choose summer squash that is firm and has smooth, unblemished skin.
- Wash the squash thoroughly before cooking.
- Cut the squash into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the squash. This will prevent it from steaming instead of sautéing.
- Cook the squash over medium-high heat so that it browns and caramelizes.
- Season the squash with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve the squash immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Summer squash is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Sautéing summer squash is a quick and easy way to prepare it. With its mild flavor and slightly crunchy texture, sautéed summer squash is a great addition to any meal.
