  • 1 yellow summer squash, thinly sliced

  • 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 1/4 cup nonfat sour cream, or nonfat plain yogurt

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)

(-) Information is not currently available for this nutrient. If you are following a special diet for medical reasons, be sure to consult with your primary care provider or a registered dietitian to better understand your personal nutrition needs.
