This simple side dish recipe is a great way to use your summer garden zucchini and tomatoes. Use a good extra virgin olive oil and fresh tomatoes for the best flavor. Another summer side dish I love is this easy Grilled Zucchini recipe. And when I have more time, this Zucchini Lasagna is my all time favorite!

Sautéed Zucchini with Plum Tomatoes is a quick and delicious summer side dish.

Tommy is not a fan of zucchinis but he raved about this dish and and asked me to keep it on rotation. It’s pretty basic but delicious this time of year! It would also be wonderful over pasta or serve it with anything you are grilling from chicken to pork chops to fish! This is great for dairy-free diets as well as Whole30 and Vegetarian.

Variations

  • The ingredients are simple, if you wish to replace the Herbs de Provence you can use basil, oregano or Italian seasoning instead.
  • Any variety of tomatoes will be great as long as they are vine ripe, grape tomatoes or beefsteak are great options.
  • Along with zucchini and tomatoes you can also add some yellow squash.
