Summer Squash with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce


I've been loving this roasted red pepper sauce, serving it recently on baked tofu and with black bean and brown rice stuffed zucchini.  For lunch today I tried it with a simple saute of zucchini and yellow squash. 

It worked really nicely all tossed together on top of a mix of quinoa and brown basmati rice.  With an extra little drizzle of olive oil at the end, it picked up a rich, glossy texture as well.  I'll definitely be making this as a side dish more often.

12 oz. roasted red peppers

1 Tbl red wine vinegar
