Zucchini & Yellow Squash Medley With Summer Herbs image

Here's a wonderful light, quick and easy veggie dish that pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish, -or- you can make a meal of it just add some crusty bread, Parmesan cheese, and a nice bottle of wine -or- serve over penne pasta. May be served hot, warm or at room temperature. Use fresh or dried herbs, as you wish. Enjoy!
