Yellow squash, green asparagus and red onion help usher in the flavors of springtime. For an Asian flavor twist, substitute soy sauce for the balsamic vinegar (adjusting the salt due to the soy sauce). Use red pepper flakes for a little added heat. —Billy Hensley, Mount Carmel, Tennessee

Ingredients:
• 2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced
• 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 small red onion, cut into thin wedges

• 1/2 cup sweet red pepper strips
•
• MARINADE:
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
