About Squash and onions

Squash and Onions is a simple, hearty dish that combines sautéed yellow squash and sweet onions, often flavored with olive oil, butter, or seasonings. A staple in Southern cuisine, this side dish embodies comfort food while delivering nutritional benefits. Squash is a low-calorie vegetable rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, supporting eye health, immune function, and digestion. Onions, known for their distinct flavor, contain vitamin C, manganese, and beneficial plant compounds that may aid in heart health and inflammation reduction. When prepared with minimal added fats, Squash and Onions is a healthy, nutrient-packed option suitable for various diets. However, richer versions using excess butter or oil should be consumed in moderation to avoid high saturated fat content. This versatile dish pairs well with grilled proteins, making it a wholesome addition to balanced meals.
