Sauteed Yellow Squash Ribbons

I love summer squash and I am always looking for different ways to cook it. I recently got a vegetable slicer which is great for making ribbons out of yellow summer squash and zucchini. A potato peeler can work also to make thin shaving-like strips. You can use these ribbons instead of pasta noodles or make a quick and simple side dish by sauteing them as seen in this recipe.

The ribbons of summer squash cook really quickly considering they are so thin. Therefore, they only need to be sauteed for about five minutes. They still have a vibrant yellow color, are tender with a hint of crispness, and a wonderful flavor.

    The ribbons look perfect. I may be even able to get my son to try squash if they look this cool. 🙂
