Tomatoes, corn, squash, okra, green beans... ahhhh. This time of year in the South, there is just nothing better than homegrown veggies. And most of us who do not have a garden of our own, have someone, somewhere with more than enough that is willing to share. If not, then these succulent summer veggies are widely available at roadside stands all over the place.
I made a couple of my favorites a few nights ago. Squash and zucchini sauteed with a little purple onion, salt, pepper, and olive oil. And fresh cabbage sauteed as opposed to boiled. I char the edges and then top it with my favorite vinaigrette dressing. Serve with a few homegrown sliced tomatoes and you have a perfect little vegetarian meal.
my vinaigrette recipe:
tbsp soy sauce
tbsp red wine vinegar
tbsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Add chopped fresh herbs for a little added color. Or substitute lemon juice instead of the soy sauce for something a little different.
