If you are a Southerner, like really from the South, you know about squash and onions. Tender yellow squash and Vidalia onion sauteed in butter with just the right seasoning is one of summer’s best dishes!
I love to use a variety called Zephyr. With a combination of yellow and light green, this squash is just downright pretty with a tender, thin skin. All I can say is y’all need to go buy you a big old bunch of squash and cook them up. You’ll have the fresh taste of summer ready in no time!
