It’s summer squash season, and now is the perfect time to prepare healthy side dishes using summer squash. This Summer Squash-Kale Sauté is one of our favorite side dishes, and it’s a breeze to make. Serve it with grilled fish, chicken or pork or any main dish. It’s even really fabulous stirred into some cooked thin spaghetti noodles. Summer squash is full of health benefits such as being high in Vitamin C, A, antioxidants, potassium, fiber and manganese.

Great idea to add some kale to a squash sauté. Love it. I really like garlic sautéed with olive oil and squash, so I am positive we will love the addition of kale. A must make.
This is pretty good as is, but even better with some sugar to offset the bitterness of the kale and squash. Beautiful too!

I do trust all the ideas you’ve offered on your
post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts
are too short for novices. May just you please extend them a little from next time?
Thanks for the post.
