Author Notes
On numerous occasions I have looked at the beautiful yellow summer squash only to think, "Uhhhhhh." Yes, it is pretty, but, I have a mean bias towards winter squash. Yellow squash is, well, bland, no?
Thankfully, my husband lacks squash prejudice and introduced me to this simple sage and dill squash dish. We use this as a side dish when our garden is flowing with the potted sage, the wild dill popping up in between our arugula, and the farmer's market is overflowing with fresh yellow squash. It's simple to make and not very fussy.
