Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow summer squash, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 ear of fresh sweet corn, kernels removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/8 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chopped zucchini, yellow squash, corn kernels, and minced garlic to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes until the zucchini becomes tender-crisp and the vegetables are heated through.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir well and cook for another minute to allow the seasonings to blend.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Top the vegetable mixture with the crumbled feta cheese and let sit for 1 minute to allow the cheese to gently warm and soften.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve while warm.
Comments
All ingredients are standard stock at every Charlotte chain including Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger, with no special stops required. The cost per serving runs around $1.20–$1.50 depending on corn season and feta source, driven mainly by the cheese; summer squash and corn are cheap when in season. The stated 10 minutes is honest for chopping and sautéing, though a reader should budget an extra two minutes for prep if they're not quick with a knife. This is a true side dish for a family weeknight—low-fuss, doesn't demand constant attention, and feeds six generously as a vegetable course, though it won't reheat well since the vegetables soften further and feta can become grainy.
