Sauteed Squash, Tomatoes, Corn, and Onion

When most people think "Southern Side Dish Recipes", they tend to think of things like Macaroni and Cheese and Sweet Potato Casserole. But for me? There's nothing more Southern than a skillet full of fresh Summer vegetables like sautéed squash, tomatoes, and corn.

This dish is reminiscent of a succotash, but is not a succotash, as it is lacking the beans that dish requires. The lack of beans also means this dish is a little lighter, both in flavor and calories.

It's also very versatile. If you can't find one ingredient, feel free to leave it out or substitute it with another. This vegetable skillet is all about cooking what is freshest!

I love a this skillet full of vegetables portioned out for a light lunch, particularly when it starts to get super hot outside and I might be sick of daily salads.

This is also the ideal healthy, Southern side dish for your favorite proteins: fish, steak, chicken, pork chops -- you name it, these veggies will pair perfectly with it.

Sauteed Squash, Tomatoes, and Corn

This Southern vegetable skillet is the ideal side dish for any meal. From fish to chicken to steak, these veggies go with everything.
