This zucchini casserole is so easy to make and a delicious side dish any time of year.
I like it made with half green zucchini and half yellow summer squash, simply because it looks pretty.
This is one of those great tasting, easy to make recipes that used canned soup as the basis for the sauce.
You don’t see that many recipes for zucchini. It’s nice to see a vegetable recipe like this for a change.
Zucchini and summer squash are amazingly healthy vegetables and great to incorporate into our diets on a regular basis. Here are some of the nutritional facts about zucchini:
One cup of raw zucchini contains about 32% of our daily requirement of Vitamin C. Yes, 1/3 of our Vitamin C requirement in basically one serving of zucchini!
Zucchini and summer squash are also wonderful sources of key antioxidents like beta-carotene and alpha-carotene. It is also a great source of lutein, which plays an important role in the health of our eyes.
I pretty much use zucchini and summer squash interchangeably. To me they seem like pretty much the same vegetable, just different colors.
I hope you enjoy this wonderful vegetable casserole. You can use it as a vegetarian main course or a side dish with so many things.
