Warm Summer Squash Salad

We first had this Warm Summer Squash Salad about two summers ago. We really enjoy the taste of balsamic vinegar. When our gardens are producing A LOT of summer squash we get tired of the same recipe. This is a great alternative with a strong balsamic vinegar flavor.
The first step is to cut the summer squash into half moons. You could do a circle, but they are too big for my Little Chef’s mouths. It is easier to prep the food to their size instead of cutting everyone’s plates while mine is getting cold.

Next, Little Chef A cooked garlic in oil, then added in the summer squash. When it just starts to wilt and brown it is done. When all the summer squash is cooked it is time to add the balsamic vinegar and stir in the oregano.

This can be served warm or at room temperature. It is a quick, simple zucchini recipe with minimal ingredients. All qualities our favorite recipes have!
