Recipe by Hannah Klinger Cutting the squash into rather thick slices helps it retain a bit of fresh snap after it's sautéed.

1 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 large yellow squash, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add zucchini; sauté 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Place zucchini in a bowl. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add yellow squash; sauté 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add yellow squash and remaining ingredients to zucchini, and toss to combine.
