Approx. 60 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 2 servings.

I planned to grill a piece of chicken for dinner and wanted a quick and easy vegetable side dish to go with it. I basically had squash, tomatoes and beans in the house, so I just tossed them all into a pan with a little bit of balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. Light, simple, and spicy: what more could you want from a side?

Ingredients

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (I used heirloom red and orange)
• 2 cups summer squash
• 1 cup snap beans
• 1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• Red pepper flakes, to taste

Directions

1. Slice/chop vegetables.
2. Add water to a skillet and bring to a boil.
3. Add beans and cook 1-2 minutes.
4. Add summer squash and cook approx. 2 minutes, or until almost tender.
5. Add cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Cook until tomatoes are heated through.
6. Add balsamic vinegar and mix well.
7. Serve as a side dish.
