Tips:
- To create perfect ribbons, use a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer to slice the zucchini and yellow squash into long, thin strips.
- If you don't have a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, you can use a sharp knife to slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin strips.
- To prevent the ribbons from browning, place them in a bowl of cold water until you're ready to use them.
- To add extra flavor to the ribbons, you can marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before cooking.
- When cooking the ribbons, be careful not to overcook them. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
- You can cook the ribbons in a variety of ways, including sautéing, grilling, or roasting.
- For a simple side dish, sauté the ribbons in olive oil with garlic and herbs.
- For a more flavorful dish, grill the ribbons with your favorite marinade.
- For a roasted vegetable dish, toss the ribbons with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in the oven until tender.

Zucchini and yellow squash ribbons are a versatile and delicious way to enjoy these summer vegetables. They can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple side dishes to more elaborate entrees.
