Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1.5 cups sweet corn kernels
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves

Instructions
Wash and dry all the fresh produce thoroughly.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds. Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until they begin to soften but are still bright in color.
Add the sweet corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir gently and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Season the medley with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables. Toss to coat.
Roughly chop the basil leaves and parsley. Stir the fresh herbs into the warm vegetable mixture.
Transfer the medley to a large serving platter or bowl. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for an added layer of flavor.
Serve warm as a main dish or as a colorful side. Enjoy!
