Ingredients:
2 medium yellow squash
2 medium zucchini
1 large red onion
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Thinly slice the squash, zucchini, and red onion. Mince the garlic clove.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. When oil is hot, add in red onion and sweat until almost translucent (about 5 minutes).
