Warm Zucchini Salad

We eat salad with almost every meal, so I am always looking for ways to change it up. 

This is a salad with zucchini, tomatoes, lima beans (I would have used edamame if I had them), garlic and basil.  It is so quick and easy to make.  On cold nights salad tastes so much better when it is warm. Experiment with different vegetables.   

Ingredients

2 zucchinis - chopped into quarters

2 cups lima beans (I prefer edamame for the extra protein)
2 tomatoes - chopped
1 clove of garlic - chopped
1 T basil
salt and pepper to taste
__________________________

Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Add chopped zucchini and beans.
Cook until tender (try not to overcook or they get mushy).
Drain in a colander.

Add garlic and tomatoes to pot immediately after draining zucchini and beans.

Cook until warm.  

Add zucchini, beans,  basil, salt and pepper.

Mix together.

 ( I chopped 3 cloves of garlic below, but only added one).

Top with parmesan cheese.
