Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium yellow summer squash
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup feta cheese

Instructions
Wash and dry the summer squash, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.
Slice the summer squash and zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves.
Finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the sliced summer squash and zucchini to the skillet and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash becomes tender but not mushy.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
